[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 111723, member: 1279"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons?[/b] I think any combat strategy that relies on Expert Tactition and a Ring of Blinking opens one up to Twink-Boy accusations :). And gee, a bola trips anything, automatically, huh? If you hit a Tarrasque with a bola, does it trip? And people call you a twink. How rude! Finally, it says under Sneak-attack that if you can't reach vitals, you can't do sneak-attack damage. You're supposed to do the math for yourself. Other finally: So, I gather your combat strategy is to be hasted, tumble in during your partial action, then do a full attack with two weapons -- er, but that's only three attacks. Where's the fourth one? And you didn't work your 20% miss chance into your average damage. And if you EVER end the round standing next to the giant, having just done 50hp of damage (or whatever), he's going to turn around and swing the Big-Ass Doom Sword at you. I know, he's probably got a 50% miss chance, but he gets three attacks at great bonuses. If two hit . . . owie! No offense, but as a DM I take the charge of protecting my monsters seriously. And it sounds like your DM lets you get away with murder. Bolas . . . . <seriously> . . . [/QUOTE]
