[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3737062, member: 4937"] Well, I agree. Splitting up wouldn't necessarily be the tactics I'd employ here either. I was just pointing out that as a 3rd level anything but fighter, I'd not really want to be facing 4 orcs by myself. As a Wizard, I'm worried about getting one hitted and this encounter burns too many of my spells. As a Rogue, I'm not wanting to mix it up with bruisers like this. As a cleric, I'm thinking that even 13 AC is going to mean alot of my attack actions are wasted. In general, I'm thinking that we can't end this fight fast enough to avoid the chance of someone being dropped. As a player, my tendancy would be to want to begin to withdraw from the situation if my party of 3rd levels came up against 16 orcs. Mine either. They'd probably be a mixture of axe wielders and scimitar wielders with tower shields. Every orc in the war band would be carrying 2-3 javelins and have a dagger backup weapon. And I'm ignoring for now the fact that I'd have at least one leader for a warband of this size. [/QUOTE]
