[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 505765, member: 259"] Just a quick note: while your tactics are all very good, they're not always an option. When I used this on my PCs, I used wolf stats for the trained dogs, giving them that funky trippy ability. It's very difficult to get away when you're in the dark and surrounded by wolves: they'll use their AoO to trip you again. And you don't always have the option of running away from a battle: my favorite battles always have serious consequences beyond death, such that running away might allow the villains to finish their fiendish plots or whatever. And villains who face this tactic from PCs will often not have access to the countermeasures you mention: magic especially is possessed only by a few villains, and a rogue with the fly spell can move faster than almost any nonmagical villain, making fleeing not an option. Especially if all PCs are under the effects of blindsight, this combination is deadly indeed. Daniel [/QUOTE]
