[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3733906, member: 20194"] Well the goal probably isn't to have 20 creatures attack one target at the same time, but a crit is still a crit and will kill a first level character. Years ago I killed a low level character with a scythe wieldling grimlock who scored a lucky x4 crit. The player was a little bummed that he was killed by a mook, but the next character he played invested in armor with fortification. I also wonder how they're going to change grapple rules, and aid another. Whenever I pit players against a lot of mooks and see someone yawn, I throw in enough aids to guarentee a few hits or have the mooks dogpile on one of the characters until it's pinned. And I disagree with Mr. Mearls about a single orc not making for a challenging encounter. High strength + Two Handed Fighting + Power Attack + Cleave from a single orc can make a party of 1-3 level PCs look like the mooks! [/QUOTE]
