[QUOTE="jkason, post: 6013320, member: 2710"] [sblock=OOC] My thought was that Zelena's extra attack from Haste (vs. a prone flanked opponent, to boot) was probably a better use of her actions than moving the axe, myself. Since picking up an item provokes AoO, too, keeping Zelena there means the dwarf provokes twice if he goes for the axe, and then he still has a chance of not being able to pick it up. 2+ attacks and continued flanking bonuses for both Zelena and Borric seemed like a fair trade-off for the chance the dwarf might manage to pick up his axe (though if he does, he'll have to work to keep hold of it every single round of the fight). Nathan's never been a particularly martial-minded character, though, so even if I'm not assessing it well enough, it's not out of character for him to make less than optimal choices. But since I'm sure Borric won't have any problem give Nathan what-for if his tactic doesn't work out, he'll have learned a lesson and grown and whatnot, so +1 for RP and all that. :) It's not a bug, it's a feature. :D [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
