[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 5408517, member: 53915"] Thank you all for the advice! Yeah, prior experience tells me this is pretty likely. I think I will hold out a bit and see if natural attrition kicks in. In the meantime, I am going to go with what several have suggested and: 1) Double monster damage 2) Use a lot of minions 3) Halve the HP of non-minions. That should make fights shorter and nastier. I am also considering resurrecting the old morale check rules so that minions flee when it seems defeat is likely. Depending on the species, I might even have a failed morale check cause minions to occasionally turn on their allies (Hey, if we help them kill that tyrant of a leader we live under, maybe they'll spare us and we will be free!). Sounds like somehing a goblin or kobold would do. My friends who were absent already play with me in another regular game, so I am warding them off of this one until such time as the group gets small enough allow for new players. Again, I appreciate the great input. If anyone has any other ideas, please share. [/QUOTE]
