    Default Cannon Fodder: A ligit tactic

    Okay, you're in part four of the shroud, and the big baddie pit fiend appears in an explosion of fire, etc. etc. Jo Schmo Fighter summons Rocky to help beat on the boss, and Squish ERanger summons a kitty, who charges the pit fiend only to take a fireball to the face... a fireball aimed at the clerics.

    A caster is running with a group through Kobold's new Ring Leader on elite... he charms half the quest, and by the time they get to the ogre, they've got a charmy at their side. (Much to the dismay of the fighters who want to kill everything). The charmy rushes in and takes a brutal amount of damage while everyone beats on the ogre.

    Cannon fodder. We forget the meaning of it some days.

    You havent seen cannon fodder until you get to the boss in feast or famine with 40 hasted charmed orcs who charge into the end room and kill everything (including the boss) while you watch from afar and collect treasure/exp.

    Army of mummies FTW!!!

    When monsters have to make 40 rolls to save vs mummy despair, even with uber will saves most of them are going to roll a 1 eventually.

    Heightened command undead to keep them in line.

    Just cost's gp to do it though. I still carry a minimum of 10-20 Create Undead scrolls for emergencies. Mummies make wonderful gifts for your teammates ( non-PUG of course) when things are going "too easy" and you wish to add some "excitement".

    Or like when a cleric sees a WF Barbarian join a group. "Ack, my blue bar!"
