Re: (TFT) Death Test I (spoilers, if you care)

Personally, I flanked a bear and the one in front (eligible to be attacked) 
would Defend, while the other attacked with +2 DX for Side.  The Bears are 
DX11, very little chance to hit with four dice.  I believe one did manage to 
but with armor the character only took a few points of dmg.  I like the idea 
of Disengaging, but the bear still gets a free attack with three normal 
dice.  Even with a small penalty for a higher DX of the Disengaging 
character, it's not as good as a 4D6 attack penalty.

Actually, I think the key to getting through this room is starting with
initiative.  You can rush up to and attack the southern bear and, IF
you can knock him down, you can attack the other bear while the
first is standing up, etc.

They are both 30ST bears, you "only" need to do 16 damage in a
turn to knock one down.
