[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 23056, member: 1451"] [b]interesting...[/b] The reason why I'm asking all of this is because my halfling rogue-type has giants as a favored enemy. He HATES giants. Our party is about to teleport off to a frost giant stronghold and so I'm wondering about some cool tactics for my pc. I just added spiderclimb to my boots of elvenkind/striding, so I thought this would be really neat to try out. It appears that if my pc can successfully mount the giant (insert joke here), he will be in a rather good position (no pun intended). For, any grapple attempts by the giant would incur a AoO, which will succeed most of the time and ruin the grapple. It also keeps my pc away from other giants, who are free to have the same experience (I have combat reflexes). I also have a ring of blinking, so I'm not so concerned about having to maintain a sneak attack position as I am about being in a defensable place while fireballs are going off around me (half damage from area attacks due to ring + evasion = improved evasion). Am I asking for it here, or does this sound like a good, heroic plan that could work? Note also, that even if he DOES succeed at grappling me, I have a 50% chance of slipping right through his fingers each round, due to the ring. Thanx again for all the replies. [/QUOTE]
