Battle tactics: who needs to be taken out first

[Keewatin]

15. I like the idea of hitting them when asleep, after a long combat with another big nasty. The druid takes most watches being an elf. with her dismal spots, I can probably take out the Animal Companion, remove weapons and armor from the barbarian and cleric, then take out the druid. Barbarian, cleric then monk. What do you think? Also, how can you tell if someone is naturally asleep or unconscious from an attack, without trying to shake them awake?

Well most sleeping things if you hit them will wake up so if it does not react you probably knocked it out.

Also even without perception modifiers the animal comanion should have scent and the ability to notice you within 30 feet and pinpoint you within 5 feet. And you wont be able to sneak attack the barbarian unless he is immobilized, (yes he can comically avoid sneak attack damage while asleep )


EDIT: ^ even a character optimized for spotting has less potential modifiers then a character that is invisable and skilled at hiding.
