[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4523248, member: 99"] I thought we were talking about a situation where the Solo was really wanting to get past the Fighter to get at the squishy Mage. Since that's so difficult then he gnaws on the Fighter as hard as possible until he backs off. That's "mission accomplished" for the Solo who then surges forward and chews up the Mage in very short order. After that he can turn his attention back to the Fighter and erase whatever gains he's made in terms of Hit Points again, this time without coming under fire from the Mage (or whatever other squishy DPS types the Fighter was protecting). If he's tying up the Cleric by forcing him to heal the Fighter during that time, that's just gravy. I'm not suggesting that this tactic would always be employed or that it isn't sometimes smarter for the smart bad guy to try and finish off the Fighter first. Just that, if he wants a go at the more vulnerable members of the party, he should take those opportunities when they present themselves. [/QUOTE]
