[QUOTE="Krump985, post: 4498547, member: 78164"] Okay the 9th level fight was like this.... The DM put this spider looking thing in front of the castle I needed to get into. My wizard friend was in the castle attempting to exit, but the door was blocked by the beast. I had my friend run up to it (despite his claims of WTF are you crazy??) but I assured him it'd be fine. Once he had the beasts attention, I stealthily jumped from the bushes to use trick strike w/ sneak attack for a +11 to hit, and a roll of nat 20 meant i crited (since my 31 would have hit, it meant max damage) and I dealt 37 damage. (2d8+4 + 3d4+5) I popped my action point to throw torturous strike next, which I rolled a 17, making 28 total and hitting its 25 or 26 AC, i forget which. I dealt 13 damage (2d4+9) because I am a nice high rolling lucksack. I had dealt 50 damage to the beast in one turn and things were looking bleack for the DM. I used my move action to run up and flank the beast, and the DM knew he was in trouble. He turned to fight me, but rolled a naturual one, as anything else would have probably hit me. My wizardly friend wanted to back up, but seeing as I'm the tactician, I told him to just throw some powerful move at the beast and not be fearful. He managed to hit the beast with difficulty, rolling an 18 and only barely hitting it according to the DM. Another 10 or so damage dealt saw its way to my turn, where I decided to use Riposite Strike (successfully with my +11 to hit) for 8, and then popped my Action point to do another 7. The DM looking flustered attacked me finally for more than half my HP, only to be surprised when i told him what the effect of riposite strike was... I'd get to counter attack now. I missed the first, but the second saw its way through for 5 damage and the beast fell to the ground with a mighty sigh that nearly crushed both the wizard and myself. Our DM is new to DMing, as this is his first game to DM in 4e or in 3.5, where I have DM'd and played for years in 3.5 and played one game of 4e before this as well. Don't say something is impossible, because in a game where luck reigns just as much as skill and tactics, anything is possible. [/QUOTE]
