[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 83532, member: 1165"] #1: How do you know if the goblin is a rogue (with multiple attacks?) or not? I mean, rogue is their favored class! What happens if the goblin is an assassin PrC (sneak attack = save or die after 3 rounds of watching you) or a 15th-level monk (quivering palm, touch attack = save or die 1/day) or a sorcerer who really like [i]disintegrate[/i] or [i]gate[/i] spells or something else that's quite powerful? Or a psion (how would you tell)? Or a psychic warrior who uses Inertial Armor? What if it's something else that has been [i]polymorphed[/i], like a rust monster, carrion crawler, or dragon? What if an intellect devourer is riding in it's skull? What if a psion used [i]mind switch[/i] on the goblin, and the psion's body is lying chained up in the next room? What if a psion with a really good BAB (multi-class maybe?) is using control body on them? What if the goblin has some really nasty magic/psionic item on them, like a blade of subtlety (with deathblade poison) that had [i]invisiblity[/i] cast on it? What if they're a lich who used [i]change self[/i] to disguise their undead nature from you (paralysis won't help you fight that rogue in your bed!) or a psionic lich (drain 2 Con per touch?) What if they're a soulknife who uses an ability forcing a Will save to drop your Con score? What if they've got that blood-draining rapier on them (touch attack equals Con loss)? What if he's got a bag full of stirges? In a world filled with magic, you shouldn't take such risks. #2: What if the rogue has the Oppurtunist ability? The goblin breaks a jar containing a green (?) slime at you ([b]melee touch attack[/b], the goblin will probably hit you), and then the rogue sneak attacks you? Loss of Con + sneak attack = bad news for your fighter. [/QUOTE]
