Bot of which lead to the logical action of intelligent foes being making sure someone is dead, since coming back from the dead requires a ritual.   My basic tactics i think i will use is, if it wont provoke an AoO because no one is watching the dropped PC it will be done.  If anyone pops up from spells the healer gets focus fired as much as possible without the NPCs soaking up too much punishment from AoO.</blockquote>
