He spins his spear around like a martial artist and tries to smash the butt into the side of the head of the closest marauder. C1

But he only gets into the way of the real fighters.

Spear Attack [1d20] = 4 Damage [1d6] = 3
There's only so far Grothnak will go to avoid hurting people that are trying to kill him.

Also, it's amazing how full that town was of villagers with class levels. No wonder the cultists targeted it. :)

not hurting the poor controlled villagers is all well and good, unless they are trying to push you into a bottomless pit then F them.

Ah crap. Meant to italicize this. Should be his internal dialog.

Inferno,

Are you not using this rule re: attacks to overbear?
DMG p. 73 wrote:Opponents With Weapons Used Normally: If the opponent of a grappling, pummeling or overbearing attack has a weapon, the opponent will always strike first unless the attacker has surprise. Any weapon hit does NO damage, but it does indicate that the attacker trying to grapple, pummel or overbear hos been fended or driven off, and the attack is unsuccessful.The weapon-wielder then has the opportunity to strike at the weaponless one "for real", if he or she so chooses. Surprised opponents with weapons have no chance for a fending-off strike, unless the attacker must use all surprise segments to close to grapple, pummel, or overbear.
Or this rule on attack order?
Determination of First Attack Initiative: Surprise, charging to attack, higher dexterity, higher die roll - in that order. Attacker attempting to overbear need not go first to so attack.

Hi Zhym,

No, because they aren't grappling, pummeling or overbearing. They're pushing the PCs back. I'm only using the overbearing rules to determine chance of success of a push attempt. As discussed before, a real overbearing attack would cause hit point damage as well as knock an opponent to the ground, stagger them, trigger additional attacks on them, or stun them. None of that is happening here. :)

He does! You didn't post one before I abruptly moved things along. Sorry.
Please post two actions now and your first one preempts all other actions next round.
