[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1242470, member: 5100"] We've been fighting Xorn lately. Okay, more specifically, we've been getting ambushed by Xorn lately. Based on the description of the Xorn "moving through stone the way a fish moves through water", my DM decided that a xorn could "stand" in the square (cube?) directly beneath someone and attack upwards. Likewise for walls. Obviously, this puts us at something of a disadvantage, since we can't attack back. Our only option has been to wait for the xorn to attack one of our guys and try to beat on it with readied actions. Our party of 13th level characters can't even kill one xorn. The best we can do is wound it enough to make it retreat. The DM's actually been reasonably cool about this and asked if anyone saw any reason why the xorn wouldn't be able to do this. It's a nasty tactic, but if the xorn is physically capable of using it, he (rightly, IMO) sees no reason to artificially not do so. So, the question is: Is this a proper interpretation of the xorn's abilities? And, is there something unambiguous written about it somewhere? [/QUOTE]
