[QUOTE="gribble, post: 3535958, member: 12430"] Ok, granted - it *might* be a valid tactic where the PCs are outnumbered by droidekas and/or other opponents at least as bad as a droideka. Even in that situation though, the best the droideka can achieve is to take a single PC out of the fight at the expense of taking itself out of the fight. It might leave the other enemies free to attack the remaining PCs, but at the same time it leaves the other PCs free to concentrate on the other droidekas! The melee character will only be able to engage/take out one droideka at a time anyway, in fact, melee characters might hope that a driodeka *does* grapple them, because then it's doing a lot less damage to that PC - not to mention the other PCs - than it would be if it was using autofire (which is a higher amount of guaranteed damage each round), and that melee PC has done his job by taking one driodeka out of the fight! So it still doesn't seem like the best offensive tactic for the droideka to use - it certainly wouldn't be the first tactic droideka I play will use! [/QUOTE]
