Funny enough, in those movies the guy dies anyway. Some quick things to think about.Heroic vs. "realistic": Perhaps your players want a game where their "suicide" is seen as heroic actions. With some GM's swining off a chandiler is a great way to start the fun. With other GMs, it's a great way to throw out the PC's back, have him land on a table and be stabbed repeatedly. Neither way is right or wrong, but the players need to understand where you draw the line on heroics.DnD CR Levels: A proper CR encounter takes up 20 percent of resources for 4 people. So one guy should be able to do it if he's willng to take up to 60 percent of his resources. ... righht. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> CR level Expectations: Most people assume in DnD that every encounter they face will be an approriate challenge for them.

The "hold them off at the pass" fighter ends up with a quick, fun fight where he wins and the others will begin to wonder if they shouldn't "bug out" so quickly next time.</blockquote>
