Man, there's been a hell of a lot of people asserting that either
@FrogReaver or I will be super dishonest or disingenuous about this process we're working through. Good to know people think so highly of our character and integrity...
Seriously guys, I genuinely want to make something actually informative. I'm pretty hurt by the accusation that I would intentionally seek out something like:
Do you all truly think me so willing to warp things just to suit my interests? I am genuinely approaching this with the intent of concession if (for example only; FR may desire a different target) the Fighter ends up doing more than double the damage I can dish out over the course of the day.
Yes, I think combats should sometimes include hordes of smaller opponents. Unlike what
@Maxperson has said, the designers have explicitly told us that there should be longevity to creatures, that orc soldiers who were scary scary big dudes when you were a level 1 babby have become foot soldiers and cannon fodder by the time you're a level 11 powerhouse. But no, I do not intend to ignore things like the chance of failing saving throws (FrogReaver and I agreed on numbers for this earlier for that very reason), and I am absolutely going to consider resistances and such, otherwise I would never have mentioned taking Elemental Adept!
