Lora mounted her Glaive and targeted the closest sleeping arachnid, then methodically and mercilessly drove the blade of the heavy, forward balanced weapon, trough the spider's head. Her teeth were clenched, her eyes - cold, and the girl felt no remorse when taking a life.
[sblock] 5 foot step towards the closest sleeping spider if it is needed. The Glaive has reach after all. Coup de grace: Glaive 1d10 x 3 = 17. Also, other DMs here made the castings seem "instant", and your hero was on a one round "cool down", but the effect took place before the combat round for the PCs is out. I will know from now on that if i am low on the initiative roll i must be careful how i target the AOE since the targets are moving towards us.
Also on Sleep: A sleep spell causes a magical slumber to come upon 4 Hit Dice of creatures. Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell’s point of origin are affected first. So i have targeted one spider, it will definitely sleep as i centered the spell on it, no roll required, right? [/sblock]
