[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5600863, member: 16069"] [COLOR=RoyalBlue] [GM]I wont comment on the Attack, I'm at work at the moment. I do want to comment on the above. When the Ogre Zombie dies it dies- any more damage you do to it is useless, it's dead. A round later (that's 6 seconds real world), it opens its eyes as it is effectively healed (raise undead)- whatever the state of its body... it re-rolls Initiative so you don't know when it's going to get up. So let's get this clear- it's going to get back up, no matter what you do, read on though- And Ogres don't have eyes so as much burning pinpricks of light, so... That said you can stand next to the thing and "Ready an Action" for it to awake, you'd have Combat Advantage (Prone), and I'll give you an extra +2 To Hit because I'm generous that way, but... when it's up, it's up. Even if all the flesh is gone and it's an Ogre Skeleton... Remember it's a smushed up shambling corpse to begin with- it's not precision engineering. Now in the one round it's dead you can beat on it- but its 6 seconds people, if you want to sever its head then make a very good To Hit roll and do lots of damage because if you don't- well, that heads still hanging on. Same with any other part of the body- you are not going to dismember the thing in 6 seconds, not unless you all roll '20's and the other Zombie Ogre waits for you finish... Have fun- and play nicely you guys.[/GM][/color] [/QUOTE]
