Behold, the First Animate M-strike ever!

In an awe inspiring display of combat mastery, an animated Grimswarm orc warrior engages Uved in a furious dance macabre, spiralling into a blur of strikes and ripostes!
All of a sudden, Uved rolls hard to his side, and then leaps to his feet!
An animated Grimswarm orc warrior thrusts with a superior invar awl-pike at Uved!
AS: +503 vs DS: +452 with AvD: +17 + d100 roll: +15 = +83

I don't know if Strathspey fixed it, or if it worked because it was against a PC.

Check out the DEATHS thread, Sereg, for a bit more action. Heh.

Since I know next to nothing about animates..

Why is this the first Mstrike? Shouldn't the creatures that normally Mstrike, when animated, still mstrike?

Mstriking has always been bugged with animates. They flat out would never do it, robbing us of the most valuable function square animates have, IMO.

Casting animates blow outside of very specific circumstances.

Ah. Can you make them do Cmans?

Nope. You just tell them to attack.

you can make magical animates cast defensive spells on you, but you cannot specify which ones.

Why did this work all of the sudden?

Fallen

My guess is because the animate was targetting a PC.

They do suck. As this log shows, however, they are remarkably easy to make into your bitch.
