Talking cheesy tactics!!

lets all share some cheesy tactics!!

my favorite is the 'close the door' tactic: basically since monsters can't open doors just cloudkill(a few times) and close that door.

especially useful in the mind flayer fortress (temple district sewers in SoA)

Oh, I just love cheesekill -- err, I mean cloudkill

My all-time favorite cheesekill was killing Demogorgon by having Aerie stand on the stairs and fire away out of sight range

Cheese? Heck yeah, but as long as I'm the one still breathing, who cares?

Talking

Personally my fave is getting oversized creatures like giants or dragons stuck in doorways and shooting them from afar...
All u waste are some projectiles...
for tonnes of xp in return

Honestly, I dont things like getting opponent stuck in doorways is that "cheesy", neither is firing off cloudkills. Both of which you could and probably would do if you were your character to aviod dying.
Cheese is laying traps around neutral targets then attacking them

Depends what the neautral characters are. If they are golems then it is ok. Golems don't think for themselves and if the mage was stupid enough to not give them the right commands then I will use that. However if it is a dragon....

Sure.

[sarcasm]
The dragon would never wonder where all this cloudkill is coming from and decide to investigate. I bet he'd just sit there and breathe deeply and think, "Golly jeepers! This can't be good for me!".
[/sarcasm]

My favorite is the fake talk routine, where you get one character as far away as possible and click on the dragon to talk to him while the other characters begin hacking away. Pure cheese at it's very finest!

You also have to wonder what the point of cloudkill is other than cheese, at best it will take a few HP off any decent opponent since they just wander through it easily
