Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nightcloak" data-source="post: 1875443" data-attributes="member: 23862">Moe fun with giantsGroup of 4 players at 5th level (with Hero Points) vs. a stone giant.The characters rush the giant across a field and take a few boulder shots. No big deal.The 3 players start tactics and move in to surround the giant. The 4th player, the wizard, cast invisible servant. Then proceeds to use his actions on the next several rounds to order the servant around and do things like attempt to drop a sack on the giant's head or run a rope through the giants legs so he can attempt to trip it... (The spell does not allow any action that calls for an attack roll, but the 3 characters were getting hammered so I instituted rule 0 and gave him the rope maneuver after unsuccessfully explaining that to the wizard)Finally, the mage rushes in to pull the rope and trip the giant. ** Insert spectacular failed dice roll of weak medium sized wizard vs. strong large giant **During this the group is still getting hammered and down to single digit HP. I recommended to the wizard that maybe he use some of his other spells or maybe his wand. Dismayed about the terrific failure of the trip attack, he decides to go in with his staff and go toe to toe.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Giant took out the wizard in the next round.Sadly, the characters didn't dare retreat at that point. The giant hadn't missed once with thrown rocks earlier. So they made a last stand.TPK 3 rounds later.</blockquote>
