[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8469441, member: 7030563"] But they are trying to kill you. Unless the enemy walked into a room and they were already down they were just trying to kill you and are almost certainly trying to get back in the fight and try to kill you again unless you can do something about it. The only time people actively stabbing you would have priority was if you were metagaming it and know you could take one of them down this turn. If you can't do that this turn, before the downed enemy gets back in the fight, you will take less damage by killing the enemy that is down. If you can down another this turn then sure, go for a standing enemy, but in most cases, it would be metagaming to know that. I would try to end a threat, putting someone down does not do that. Killing them does. This happens IRL in "melee" too where someoene gets hit with a bat or stambbed and then the killer hits the guy again while he is on the ground or stabs him a bunch more times. They are added on as legal familiars in WOTC campaigns. The Tressym has 5hps I think, which is still very vulnerable, but 4 more hps than an owl. Tressym has a chance with a good save to survive a few low damage AOEs and with a lucky roll might survive a single melee attack from a very low damage enemy. Gelatinous ice cube has I think 18hps, which makes it the tank of familiars. [/QUOTE]
