[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7923913, member: 6801228"] Not really. For example, I had a group of 5th level characters attack a gnoll camp. They had about 20 gnolls to fight through. That doesn't strain credibility in any way, twenty people is about the size of a small camp of people. Was in a game where we assaulted a werewolf controlled castle. We fought nearly 80 enemies as we lobbed spells and arrows and tried to break past the walls. (We had a friendly giant and mage helping, which is why we won instead of dying horribly) The only "unrealistic" part of it is how many enemies we each killed, but in terms of how many enemies were in the location, it makes complete sense. You can't hold a castle with three people, you need a lot more than that. And, once the alarm is raised, you will be fighting some pretty consistent waves, because the enemy isn't going to just politely wait for you to make it to room 2B before attacking you. [/QUOTE]
