Daishain's 5e D&D Rules, Q&A, And Support - Page 513

You have some interesting points about trying for some called shots. But look at the House Rules (Start of this thread). It imposes Disadvantage. Right now one of the best things Poljen can do is keep rolling with Advantage. In three rounds he has delivered 134 points of damage. I will stick with simple, straightforward attacks.

If this were a real world, with biology and physics and the like, I'd gladly give it a try. But this is the hand we've dealt ourselves. I will play it this way.

Suddenly I regret specifying beyond "They're not wearing armor"

In any case, be cautious of promising a familiar's assistance in combat. Either of them take a single hit and they're dead.

As to Velon's indirect query, it'l take five rounds to run up those stairs. If you're going to try to intervene, I suggest starting now.

Yeah, while Velon doesn't like the approach, I believe only one light blow (8 points to Cratol) has been reported to him thus far. I thus don't feel like he'd go ringing the dinner bell that is his armor sprinting around yet. If they start getting pounded on badly that might change, in as little as one Dungeon Master post. For now he's just preparing because he doesn't like the odds. He doesn't have the concept of fire giant hit points in his head, etc. Like I do.

Wow, I haven't looked at the damage rolls. If Poljen has done that much already, you might be totally fine. Impressive!

We are doing well but the Giants haven't really gone yet. One round can change things. Poljen can handle a lot of damage. I think Cratol is about to get bounced around the room though.

Yeah if he can dance around and not get hit he can still do some damage. He is not doing a lot but he is doing some.

Using a familiar to attack is a major mistake, unless there are other targets. Helping action to give advantage is fine, anything more and you could lose him. The sting also won’t have any significant effect on the giant.

That is what I was thinking too. Cratol has done 36 damage on the female so he is not going down without hurting her.

Unless Daishain says otherwise, those without built-in advantage should get advantage on one attack each round, from the two familiars providing distraction on each giant? I’d be reluctant to do more, but I could send through a shocking grasp, if things get hairy and if within 100 feet.
