Look at this way: even dead, John still gets a part in the story. Of course, he's more of a cautionary tale now about not messing with large stinging insects...but you get the idea.Maladrac said:The artist formerly known as;

Suppose the Dreth was grappling Tamil. If Baden attacked, he would have to roll randomly to see which combatant he struck. (PH 151, Table 8-6, footnote 3). I'd assume that was the main reason for Baden to join the grapple rather than merely hack away.Tellerve said:I have to ask though, in terms of gaming, how did that combat actually go? As a story it is great, but knowing this was played by PCs makes me wonder about some stuff. What level was baden at this point? Why, assuming "normal" grappling rules, would he drop his ax to do such crappy fighting.
