[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4445103, member: 23977"] It's also important to remember that mowing down minions isn't always about "feeling heroic." It's sort of the moxie version of a guy flexing his biceps before a fight or two dogs barring their teeth... The big bad guy doesn't know you have Moxie. In fact it's almost impossible to tell someone has it. Sometimes it's assumed, as people with Moxie tend to gravitate towards important positions, but this isn't always the case. There are also some learned sages who can tell... They tend to appear as old men wearing fedoras who can look at you, and say "you got Moxie kid..." while winking. The big badguy just sees you as another shmuck that needs to be shown how powerful he is. So he sends his henchmen against you assuming you're just going to be kileld while he goes back to recojiggering his giant moon carving laser beam. Mowing down the minions is equal to saying: "I don't think so jerkwad!" It lets the big bad know you aren't just another shlob. You got Moxie. Nah... not even Moxie can stand up against the forces of a DM who doesn't know when to end a campaign. [/QUOTE]
