[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 6964919, member: 6855114"] @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=5834"]Celtavian[/URL][/U][/B][/I] I am pretty sure that our playstyle is very different. Who said anything about 300 "standard" orcs? A war party will have standard orcs yes. But it will also have Eyes of Gruumsh, War Leaders, Claws of Luthic, Zombies and Skeletons from priest and many other special orcs. Even if 80% of the horde is standard, that leaves us with 60 non standard orcs. More than enough to kill your 15th level characters. Believe me, whatever your character have in reserve, I could manage them. Once I was asked by a DM to help him out with his group. They were level 24th and they were about to slay all gods in the Legend and lore book. A typical Montyhaul campaing that went wrong. With the group, I bet with them that I could kill them with a hundred ogres and one mage level 12. They all laughed at me. 1 hour later. The group was dead. The funny thing is that my group would never have fallen for that simple trap. All this to say that if your group isn't afraid of a 300 orc rampaging group. They should be. Maybe that is why you consider that 5ed is failing... [/QUOTE]
