[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 385058, member: 1115"] Seems that the party has problems to use proper tactics. I mean, a spellcasting archer alone against a SKELETAL warrior..come on - that's more or less suicide. If the group does not help a pc in combat, that pc SHOULD consider a retreat if the odds are against him, IMHO. That the monster finished off the only opposing (later unconcious) pc is bad, but logical. Raising him as an undead makes ressurection impossible, so it seems to be a smart black guard. BTW, holding a greatsword in one hand is possible with the Monkey Grip feat (S&F). Using it in conjunction with a wand needs a [i]Haste[/i] or something similar. One single monster with about 100 hp against a 5th level party might be ok (although I do not know its special abilities and CR), if a good tactic is used. DM mistakes happen from time to time (nobody's perfect ;)). If you don't like the way of playing, choose another group or use better combat tactics. My group had learned this slowly after some devastating losses because of a very bad planning (I must admit that I am a quite merciless DM :D). [/QUOTE]
