[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9316598, member: 29398"] If the BBEG misses on its first few attacks, or hits but rolls pathetic damage, that's when I'll (half-)joke that it's just toying with the party and-or playing with its food. :) And unless the BBEG really is toying with the party (at cost of its own life, note; meaning the BBEG probably has a Wisdom score of about 4) then the even-ness of the four PCs' condition almost has to be explained by elements other than just what the BBEG has done so far in the combat. That said, yet another parameter we're not told in the OP is whether those four characters are all the party had to begin with. For all we know, x-number of other party members might already be down and dying/dead; and their actions before dropping might help explain how things got to this here-and-now point. [/QUOTE]
