Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leatherhead" data-source="post: 7202352" data-attributes="member: 53176">A lot of people are going on about dragons being vulnerable to taunting and whatnot.Lets sidestep this argument completely.There is one of my favorite recent mooks:[ATTACH]87526[/ATTACH]The entire gimmick of this npc is, well, printed out in that flavor text above: It floats above melee combat and shoots down with impunity. The trade off being: It's just floating in the air, with an incredibly obvious weak point, no cover, and the potential for disastrous things happening to the NPC should anyone in the party decide to put two and two together.As for the OP:Sometimes, fights aren't supposed to be easy, or even in your favor. (When they start, at least) You should always be looking for the "non-attack option" that turns the tide of battle. However, you can be thankful that Javelins are the "worst case" weapon for non-dex melee characters, which is actually comparatively decent when contrasted with the problems facing melee specialists in previous editions. Though, I would love to see the Trident get buffed into a better choice to compensate for the fact it's supposed to be better than a Spear.</blockquote>
