Wyrm forest and sneak attack. Clarification

Unread post by EasternCheesE »

Initial report is here.

Well, as soon as i closed that feat/scroll/etc thread, i add up this post to clarify the recent discovery.
1) Pyrohydras that are not sneak-attackable from stealth is not a bug, but a mob design.
2) If you still want to attack this mob and score sneak attack, try to flank it or stay behind it as these heads have many eyes.

That "not attackable with sneak attack from front" may appear to more mobs, but aside from pyrhohydra, i don't know of any.

While it may cause questions on the design, it's done this way on purpose (as it's a very specific property that makes it so one can't just sneak attack it while it faces player), so it's not under my authority to request alternation of mob design.
