"Okay!" Aria sounded suddenly eager to fight, perhaps because of the music. "Lemme see if I can slow it down..<br/><br/>Her wings beat to hover as she drew her bow and rapidly fired arrows. Three went right through the illusory dragon, which seemed to rapidly jump back and forth and exchange places with the real one such that she found little benefit to trying to hit the 'other' one after each missed arrow. One arrow hit the solid dragon but bounced off its armor, while yet another pierced deep in the place she had marked as analogous to the hollow of a human's throat.<br/><br/>The dragon wheezed, and seemed to slow, but was already taking a leap into the air. Blue wings spread terrifyingly wide and the beast passed right over Kass's head (just out of overhead sword range, and probably deliberately so) just as its long neck shot out like a striking snake's. Aria gasped but phased ethereal and the fangs chomped down over nothing, its illusory doppleganger mimicing even that, and the tiefling reappeared near the withdrawing maw a split second after.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Inspire Greatness doesn't give a net +4 attack or extra save bonuses. (For one thing, you wouldn't know whether those hit die had the poor/fair/good BAB progressions or poor/good save progressions. For example, constructs have d10 hit die, 3/4ths bab, and three poor saves.)<br/><br/>And it doesn't give 2 levels' worth of class features like caster levels. Note that your caster level automatically equal to character level (it is for Kass b/c s<br/>the's single classed, but if she multiclassed into fighter or something, it wouldn't increase from the fighter levels).<br/><br/>It gives<br/>2d10 + 2 * Con mod HP (and yeah, let's take average, so 11 + 2 * Con mod; saves time vs rolling them).<br/>+2 competence on attack rolls<br/>+1 competence on Fort<br/>your character level / hit die is considered 2 higher for effects like Frightful Presence that are dependent on the target's HD.<br/>So I take it from your comments you prefer Inspired Courage.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Aria</span><br/>5' up and forward, draw bow, haste (4/10) and sniper's shot (3/10), full attack ('good' flight maneuverability rating allows hovering)mods 32/32/27/22/17 (17 bab 10 dex 1 weapon 1 haste 3 inspire courage -2 range increment +2 blink, assuming it can't see invisible creatures)<br/>miss chance rolls vs displacement (rolling d100s, with 1-50% being misses:)<br/>Result: 18, 97, 91, 23, 38, (so the 1st, 4th and 5th miss due to the Displacement)<br/>attack rolls:<br/>Result: 2, 20,<br/>threat: Result: 15,<br/><br/>atk 32+2, miss!<br/>atk nat20, threat 27+15, crit, dmg 31 + 60<br/>Staggering Strike: Fort save DC 91 for dragon or staggered for one round. rolls a nat1<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Oz</span><br/>flying charge at Aria (AC 39 with haste):<br/>atk 42 dmg 20<br/>EDIT: forgot the 50% miss chance due to blink<br/>Result: 39,<br/>so miss due to blink<br/><br/><br/>Aria is at altitude 30'<br/>Oz is at altitude 15'-25' (occupying the 3rd,4th, and 5th cubes above ground)<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/>Angle from above:<br/>    .
