[QUOTE="Daedrova, post: 1559773, member: 11835"] I ran a session this past weekend where my players actively sought out to slay a Dragon, and some tactics questions came to my mind about there tactics- if only in a particular situation (one that I had a little trouble dealing with) The irony of this is that the very tactic a player used this weekend is one I had used in a Dead Heroes-D&D tournament type event, and given account of previously to my friends/players. They player I mention is a Wizard (and we are using the Spell point variant from UA), and the battle became aerial, because they encountered this dragon in a thick swampy forest which created a sort of canopy, separating ground from sky (for combat sake). Now, the tactic I used was a couple years back using 3e rules, when haste was a broken spell. I simply put myself in a position about 100 ft away from the dragon while invisible (improved), cast lightning bolt, and moved at least 60 ft away from my previous location. (and I suppose you don’t actually have to be using haste to bolt and run). The dragons blind-sight being only 60 ft. and being only a 7th level caster, I saw no way for him to track down the wizard when it came to his turn. The best he could do is move to the spot where the wizard was. How could he possibly find him to attack? Does anyone have a way to defeat this tactic? [/QUOTE]
