A goblin has a speed of 6 squares, and using running, he could move up to 16 squares per round. This means the maximum number of goblins that could get through that door are the number of goblins that can be within 16 squares of it. Since you can have per RAW only 1 goblin per square, this leaves you with 16 x 16 = 256 goblins. (assuming they only get to the door and then disappear into thin air, not thinking about where they end up)2) An attack does not describe a single "swing" of a sword, it presents a series of swings, feints, parries and moves that you can perform within 6 seconds in a 5 x 5 ft wide area and extending into a 15 x 15 ft wide area. Hence, if in these 6 seconds 144 goblins come through the area, why shouldn't your series of swings, feints, moves and parries be able to affect them? Imagine, 144 goblins entering through a single door - that looks pretty much like a constant stream of bodies, and if you swing your sword around, you're bound to hit a lot, and you certainly won't make one sword swing per enemy. It's a bit like cleave, except you don't need a feat or power to explain this happening. Well, lucky I didn't think seriously about this and wasted your and my time with coming up with a solution to explain the scenario, right? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
