[QUOTE="jollyninja, post: 308106, member: 3208"] have you ever been in a fight with more then one opponent? as someone who has been in a couple let me just say that focusing yourself on one person is a REALLY good way to get the crap kicked out of you by the rest of the group. the dm is just being a little more realistic then players typically are. when faced with a group you have to take the best option at the time. it really is quite random. they do not come one at a time like ninjas in some crappy eighties martial arts movie. if someone looks like they might not be able to get away from your fist/foot/knee or whatever you have, that's the one you go after at that second. it's all about keeping them at bay and off balance because if they settle and decide to work as a group you're screwed. i'm not claiming to be tough or anything here, i've just had my but handed to me by a group a time or two. i've never beaten more then two despite all my crotch/throat shots and biting.
