[QUOTE="Njall, post: 4188022, member: 54719"] The Pit Fiend carring around "explosive minions" and the BoR aren't even remotely related, IMO. The BoR was a rules exploit, that was unbalanced and made no sense ("Hey! As long as I keep killing rats in one hit, I can get an infinite number of cleave attacks on the BBEG! Cool!"), and you didn't even need the rats: as long as a BBEG was surrounded by some low level monsters you could kill in one hit, you could use whirlwind attack and then redirect all of the cleave attacks on him; the Pit Fiend hanging around with a group of minions he can make explode is just like Rambo walking around with a pack of sentient grenades: he uses his minions as a personal guard, and, when they're no longer useful, he uses his influence/magical bond/whatever on them to blow them up ( one at a time ) and damage his foes. Frankly, I don't even know how you could compare the two... [/QUOTE]
