I recently came across this fable of Aesop's, and it occured to me that it's quite instructive with regard to Warlocks, and our common arguments about decision points:
A hound started a hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the chase. A goat-herd seeing him stop, mocked him, saying "The little one is the best runner of the two." The hound replied, "You do not see the difference between us: I was only running for a dinner, but he for his life."

So it's an association with FoD against Ligthning Bolt with 15 HP each side. One of them fights for dinner (5 points), another for his life.  |

No, that's not what I'm talking about. DFFDD vs WPP would be a more fitting analogy. In the FOD case you mention, that would be the equivalent of the hare ceasing to run and instead trying to bite the hound.

Yes, I see what you mean. The hare has to run, because he can't risk the hound catching him. The hound can risk not catching the hare - it's just a bonus if he does. I wasn't familiar with this particular fable (or if I was, hadn't heard it for many many years) so thanks for sharing it. I like Aesop's stuff Also, as you've proved, they're pretty universal messages. I used the lion and the mouse one when teaching English [to non-native speakers] before. |

2 Slartucker: Maybe WPp) is much more analogy 'cause the hare was escaped in this tale... |

Maybe more like a clap and a faked Mirror?

2 Derfel:
It looks like lightweight hare running on the laying branches which cover a ground trap.
