[QUOTE="Andor, post: 6363486, member: 1879"] I did actually. At a prof +6 attack bonus the crits exactly balance out the miss chances. You're right I got the bonus wrong, want me to recompute? Don't move the goal posts. My claim was that a D&D fighter in a similar situation would have a similar ending. Lots of dead orcs, halfings get away, fighter dies eventually. You claimed the champion would "Go out like a chump." Others were claiming it took only a few rounds to drop him. I realize we're using theatre of the mind but you still can't use medium creatures to mob someone with dozens of attacks around. You have spacing issues. If Boromir gets his back to a tree he cuts out one or two attacks a round and swings the math to his benefit. If he's surrounded he can use his action surge to cut down half the orcs around him and it will be well worth taking a few AoO to reposition to a better place. Try actually gaming out the scenario rather than thinking 24 orcs = 24 melee attacks per round. [/QUOTE]
