I think you mean that I should have taken the first hit? I didn't think being practical was op. It doesn't block but dodge, since its made of vulnerable meat and has the experience and spatial perception to do so. Until the tail choking, I don't believe Cia had been hurt either unless interrupting a death bomb counts. Even then, it won't work since she has no blood to cut off, so its pretty meaningless. I made it clear also that she could attack the tail, for what that's worth. If the Magna Pater had been less creative about getting past the spike shield, this conversation could have been easily reversed. But I'll have the thing get hit and leave her alone anyways. Perhaps the dragon folk can teach it a lesson.
