[sblock=OoC Strategizing: ]Boog would like to be within 30' of the cleric to manifest Psionic Charm, but doesn't want to give the zombies free AoO's, and can't move more than a 5' step and manifest this round, anyway. So, if he's 40' or more from the cleric, he will be more interested in shooting the guy with his crossbow, and will maneuver for the best shot he can get that won't put him in a square threatened by a zombie. If there is more than one square he can reach that will meet that description, he'll choose one that doesn't obstruct Rowan or Julian's forward progress, or their LoS to the cleric.
If he's 35' away, and can take a 5' step toward the cleric without triggering an AoO, he'll do that and manifest Psionic Charm. If he can't approach the cleric without triggering an AoO, see his actions for 40' or greater in the previous paragraph.
If he's 30' or closer and not obstructing Rowan or Juliana, he manifests Psionic Charm where he stands. If he is obstructing either of his partners and can take a 5' step without moving out of Charm range or triggering an AoO, he'll do that. If he's obstructing and can't take a 5' step, he'll angle for a crossbow shot as mentioned in the first paragraph.
Oh, and if engaged by a zombie, he'll fire the bolt that's loaded if he hasn't already, then defend himself with his staff.
Phew. Would'a been easier with a map. But it's all good![/sblock]"Zombies", Boog announced in a flat voice. "Why does it always have to be zombies?"
The telepath pondered his next move: use his Power against the zombie-master, or just shoot him with his crossbow?
