[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6317618, member: 5143"] Still, there's nothing preventing the dragon from ignoring him and attacking his friend anyways, even with his AC and hitpoints. So, running up could accomplish the same thing: Nothing. It would simply go like this: "I run up into melee with the dragon." "Alright, you are now beside your shaman friend, both in melee with the dragon." "I want to get between the dragon and my friend." "Sorry, you can't. The dragon is very close to your friend and blocks your progress." "Alright, then I attack the dragon....and I miss." "Alright, the dragon attacks your friend and kills him." Now, I'm not saying that tactically, it wouldn't be a better idea to give the Dragon another target...maybe he'll choose to hit you instead of your friend. You never know. Might as well toss out some insults to try to get the dragon's attention. I'm just saying that claiming that attempting to turn the Dragon is somehow a breach of the Paladin code because you didn't do anything to try to defeat the dragon is awfully harsh. [/QUOTE]
