[QUOTE="Elvinis75, post: 1276319, member: 4379"] I have to assume that you are not serious given the second paragraph but it saddens me that players or DM would try to use the bag o snails or 18 goblin allies that are enemies even though they are fighting for me rather than against me. The attacker doesn’t have the sole responsibility when it comes to determining the status of the person attacked. Indeed the noun that defines the other person is more defined by their activity. Looking at the word enemy it becomes clear Main Entry: en•e•my Function: noun 1 : one that is antagonistic to another; especially : one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent Lets see are those goblin or kobalds match that description? Not in relation to Main Bad Guy. The MBG is not the person on the other end of the seeking to injure category. The PCs are. The difference is that the noun that should be used to define the popcorn as they have been called is victim. Main Entry: vic•tim Function: noun 1 : a living being sacrificed to a deity or in the performance of a religious rite 2 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent <the schools are victims of the social system>: as a (1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions <a victim of cancer> <a victim of the auto crash> <a murder victim> (2) : one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment <a frequent victim of political attacks> b : one that is tricked or duped <a con man's victim> Definition one doesn’t fit but certainly the #2 does. So if you don't get AOOs from them then you will not have the issue of 20 AOOs that grant 20 cleaves against the opponent whether that opponent is the BBEG or one of the PCs. Unless the BBEG is stupid as all get out [/QUOTE]
