My character, Callum McLeish, dwarf-hating lunatic in a kilt & a claymore (Bar1/Clr1) was well up for that, as were his colleagues.At least until we got ambushed by 4 ghouls and a ghast. By the time the surprise round and first two rounds of combat were over, one party member was in negative hitpoints, 2 were paralysed, and a third was being dragged away by the ghast and the remaining 2 ghouls.Which left me. On 6 hitpoints. Against 2 ghouls and an entirely unwounded ghast. 2 rounds later, all three of the walking dead lay in tiny pieces on the ground, following 2 perfect hits both of which turned into effective Cleave attacks doing nearly maximum damage.And I even managed to heal the dying party member once the Rage had worn off.---(The DM did it again a couple of levels later when he put our 4th level party up against about 25 villains, some of whom were actually higher level than we were! Oh, and we were underground in the middle of a flat plain with nowhere to flee to. Our survival that time wasn't heroic; it was just pure dumb luck!)</blockquote>
