[QUOTE="epithet, post: 7107074, member: 6796566"] I think the regular goblins want to win. Sure, it makes sense for them to focus on the enemy that's still standing and to ignore the one that's unconscious on the floor... until the unconscious one gets up and starts fighting again. Once that happens, it makes sense for the goblin to take a moment to make sure that once you're down, you stay down. With animals (of animal intelligence) you should keep in mind the motivation of the beastie. If it is defending its territory or young, it will focus on those who are still a threat. If it is hunting, though, it will grab the first unconscious PC and start dragging him or her off to their dinner date. [/QUOTE]
