[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5135044, member: 35909"] Happens all the time in my group. Probably the best example was during a fight at sea where a whole pirate crew was boarding their transport ship in droves. The leader, Dread Pirate Roberta, was a Scarlet Corsair and was holding her own rather well. Got knocked down to just 3 hp, then went on to fight for 2 rounds without getting hit at all, despite being completely surrounded. Then one of the party members (gestalt sorcerer/ dragonfire adept of all people, though he did have dragon claw attacks and tons of melee-ranged fear abilities, so I guess it made sense...) challenged her to a duel. One round went by with her injuring him badly and him missing her and failing to terrify her. Far as I could tell, she probably could have taken him, until another party member most dishonorably walked up behind her and cut her down in spite of the duel. Granted, the PCs were evil, but the backstabbing PC was a LAWFUL evil character (and really, more emphasis on the lawful part up until then). The rest of the party actually started yelling at him for it. :) [/QUOTE]
