[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4543689, member: 70778"] There you go then. You answer your own question as to how it could be done in older editions and didn't require some video game power to do it. Notice yourself using a "taunt" ability that is a racial for Kender, but doesn't discount other races or even classes from doing something to piss off the enemy to rush him, or the enemy leader to order them all to rush him. So the power isn't need to do it. Explain to me why you can only swing your sword at more than one enemy in this sweeping motion once per encounter in 4th and that make sense? Because you ran out of use of the power right? So it is ok to be "like the movie where it has to happen" as mentioned by M_R, but you can only do it once, because a fighter is so inept at being able to do something more than once. I call that a lack of options. DM: Sorry Tom, you can't make anymore wild swings at the enemies hoping to hit more than one at a time because you used up your encounter power. Isn't it great to play in a movie script where the director (DM/rules) dictate (railroad) you actions and choices? [/QUOTE]
