[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7587169, member: 23751"] When I was 19 or 20, my buddies and I went to the local middle school and were playing football. While we were there, a group of 6-8(can't remember exactly) middle school kids came out and challenged us to tackle football. We thought it was the funniest thing and agreed, but we said it was touch for us, and they could tackle. One of my buddies was 6'2" or 6"3, 245 pounds and played offensive line in high school. He could bench press as much as someone with an 18/00 strength in 1e, which he reminded us of fairly often. All we did when we had the ball was hand it to him and let him run. Those kids were tenacious. First one would grab him and hold on, then two, then four, and soon all 6 or so were on him. At first he would just keep walking like goliath with a bunch of hobbits clinging to him, but by the time 6 grabbed a hold, he went down. In a fight he would have destroyed all of them and barely worked up a sweat. Grappling as a group, though, they took him down every time. Orcs being much closer in size to the high level fighter, and nearly as strong, would have a much easier time taking the fighter down with a group grapple. If they kept their distance, though, and let him use his weapons, they'd be toast. [/QUOTE]
