[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 4655161, member: 284"] It might have been the Core Special mod "Shades of the Zhentarim" - I know that the first combat in that mod starts you off in a poor tactical situation that gets much worse if the bad guys beat you on initiative (which they have a good chance of doing). Most of the time one character get's flanked by the bad guys before he can move, and the terrain restricts movement after that, and he just get's hammered for several rounds straight (flankers with attacks that Daze you, and an Elite that causes everyone to do extra damage to the dazed person). Some of the mod authors really like setting up combats that favor the NPC's in an attempt to counteract all the cheese LFR characters tend to have. (LFR is a "kitchen sink" campaign - [B]everything[/B] wotc publishes from splat books to dragon magazine stuff is allowed.) [/QUOTE]
