Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fifth Element" data-source="post: 5932221" data-attributes="member: 48135">How does one individual kobold not being dangerous to the fighter mean that they are not dangerous in numbers?If a fighter is literally surrounded by 8 kobolds, it's going to take him 8 rounds to kill them all dead. Assuming he wins initiative that's 28 kobold attacks on him before the last is killed dead, made with advantage. That's not dangerous?With some rough math, attacking with their daggers the kobolds would cause an average of over 50 hit points damage in those 8 rounds. Enough to KILL THE FIGHTER DEAD twice over.And that's standing toe-to-toe with the fighter, which of course kobolds would not and should not do.That's a RATHER LARGE IF, as illustrated above.It's not going to automatically kill a more powerful opponent; I thought that was the main objection here, that kobolds died automatically, just by pointing at them or sneezing on them or something similarly flippant.3 hit points to a creature with, say, 88 hit points is nothing. The ability does not scale with opponent's hit points. It's deadly against the wimpiest of the wimpy, but merely a scratch against a really dangerous foe.</blockquote>
