For example, what is more threatening, one Orc attacking your Wizard in melee or six Orcs?That is what rolling every round does. It sometimes allows multiple unanswered actions.Two sessions ago, I ran a 50 2nd level Hobgobllin (3 of which were 3rd Adept, 5th Adept, and 5th Fighter/Rogue respectively) battle against 6 6th/7th level PCs, a 5th level NPC cohort and a 4th level NPC cohort. 50 against 8. Even though the PC Gnome Sorcerer and the PC Halfling Cleric even got grappled, none of the PCs and their cohorts were in serious trouble except the 5th level cohort. That was a Dwarven Cleric who likes to fight, got separated from the rest of the group, got surrounded by 4 Hobgobins and the 5th level Fighter/Rogue Hobgoblin and got pummeled. If the PC Paladin (whom the cohort belongs to) had not broken away from her own combat to go over and assist, the cohort would have bought the farm.Number of actions count in DND big time.</blockquote>
