Ranger action question

[rkanodia]

Man, it must really suck to be the commoner who gets that job.

"Hey man, how much money do you make per week?"
"Um, about 10 silver pieces."
"Tell ya what: I'll give you one hundred gold pieces to come with me on my adventure. Don't worry, you don't have to do any fighting, you can hide in the back if you like, all ya gotta do is just carry this bucket for me wherever I go."
"Sounds good, what's the catch?"
"Catch? No catch? Oh, there's just this one tiny thing: when we fight the big bad evil guy, yougottarunrightupinthemiddleofthefightanddumpallthezombiepuppiesoutofthebucket. But that's it."
*Sense Motive check: Failure (17 + 0 = 17 vs DC 28)* "Oh, ok, sign me up!"

That's why it's usually done with Zombie puppies.

Nobody really cares if you Cleave a Zombie puppy.

Do Zombie puppies run away?

Do Zombie puppies run away?

They do if you have the Cleric turn them...

We switched to puppies with 3.5, because the bucket o' snails no longer works.

Whirlwind Attack prohibits bonus or extra attacks from feats, y'see.

So we use a bucket of puppies... when you dump them out, they tend to either run back to you (entering your square and provoking an AoO), or run away (leaving a threatened square, and provoking an AoO). Instead of Whirlwind Attack and Great Cleave, it's now Combat Reflexes and Great Cleave.

-Hyp.

No, no. When you dump the puppies on the ground, they get up from prone, which provokes the AoO. Remember, this is why we use puppies as opposed to kittens, which land on their feet, and so don't have to get up from prone.

Mental note to self: Never use Zombie puppies with Prone Attack.
