[QUOTE="Gryph, post: 5850971, member: 98071"] Ok, I sort of see this in a fight where there is 1 tougher opponent supported by weaker allies. Still, it's a natural reaction to want to take out the toughest guy on the battlefield as fast as possible and usually the fastest way possible is by concentrating fire. It's certainly metagamey in the sense that it's the smartest choice, mechanicaly; but its often the smartest narrative choice as well. By narrative I mean the from the pov of the character. Do you have the same concern if the fight is 5 on 5 wher all 5 opponents are mechanically the same (say 5 bugbears)? How much focus fire crosses the line for you? 2 on 1, 3 on 1, or more? I'm not trying to attack your opinion here. It's just so different from my own that I'm trying to get a fuller sense of what you dislike about focus fire situations. In the groups I've played in over the years we've always adopted the leanings of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, "Get there the firstest with the mostest." [/QUOTE]
