[QUOTE="CovertOps, post: 4829532, member: 65152"] A few quick notes to clarify some issues brought up by other posters. Party composition was as follows: Paladin(STR), Swordmage(assault), Avenger(Censure of Retribution), Ranger(STR), Shaman, Warlord(tac?), FWIW I think the Avenger is a Deva. The encounter in question I was really feeling the AC swing because I was using Gnolls which don't have any attacks vs. F/R/W. So far I've liked the idea about making the rest of the party pay and ignore the defenders and Avenger. Have to be careful here not to meta-game the first round or two and go straight for the squishies (*exception - The BBEG is watching them move through his fortification so knows who to go after first when they arrive). I also like the idea of surround, but ignore the Avenger to nullify his 2 best abilities (2 die rolls to attack and power-up from the Censure). This particular encounter was the last with the Gnolls and next they are moving on to a dragon cult. I think I'll steal the themed idea and give them an encounter power matching their "god". I'm thinking something that attacks Fort :P [/QUOTE]
