[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 5930258, member: 6688277"] Jeez-Louise, they didnt form the perfect pyramid for the national cheerleading squad. The two largest huddled together and the other two go on their backs (please read my post to Neonchameleon to see what type of game I was running). I believe a harsh DM would make their PCs (mid-late teenagers) make rolls for something like that I handwaived it. And it generally takes a few seconds. Yes they could have tried to back away or climb a tree, problem was - at the time they were carrying a dead guy from their village, so they opted out of leaving the dead guy on the ground for the bear. A bear is a predator yes, but as I have already mentioned this was not your adult bear (it also wasnt a cub). Which I did do, through the use of skills. Them climbing on each others backs was to [U]gain height advantage to AID their attempt to intimidate the bear.[/U] Their intimidation consisted of growling & making general threatening noises, stomping the ground, throwing stones and the like. Sorry maybe I wasnt clear enough about it on my first description. They rolled well. And given that the bear was not a full adult and that they landed a stone right in its face...I had the bear turn and leave. There was no time for making fire and they indeed did not have the tools to make one. They were pressed for time as players. [/QUOTE]
