[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8696194, member: 67338"] I had an encounter that REALLY stands out a few years ago (man time flys) when we had 3 stealth based characters 'get the drop' on a group of my Hobgoblin soldiers... we all rolled initiative (I don't remember the exact numbers now) the PCs all got higher then the enemies... so 4 PCs acted, 1 got an extra attack from dread ambusher, and 1 got to action surge and 1 got to assassinate crit. then all 4 PCs went again... then in theory the Hobgoblins could go... I did declare a few death spasms. edit: now that was a really cool moment, and that is why I still remember it and we still talk about it... BUT it also lead to us having this realization that the opposite could have happened. if 3 hobgoblins had gotten 2 full rounds I would have killed or at least KOed half my party. And that WASN'T the game with the 2 NPC and PC assassines constantly trying to one up each other... cause in that one it almost always was more fairly spread. That first time all the enemies rolled low sent a chilling realization up our spines. [/QUOTE]
