[QUOTE="Duncan Haldane, post: 305796, member: 514"] OK. This occurred during a Living Greyhawk Interactive game run on the weekend. I was running a group of 1st and 2nd level characters. They were trapped on an island (with most of the other adventurers playing the interactive). The island was being attacked by an army of undead & devils- skeletons, zombies & lemures for this low level group. They were asked to hold a line along the beach - which meant they couldn't advance. The army came out of the sea and walked towards them. The army started forty feet out in the ocean, and the line was forty feet up the beach, so they were 80' away. The party stayed where they were while the army advanced. Since the army couldn't charge and make the distance that round they didn't. They advanced. It was at this point that one character in the line with a melee weapon (others were firing missile weapons) refocused. Another with a long spear set it against the charge. Sure enough, the following round the undead charged (well, not the zobies - they were turned), and hit the very-ready PCs. I think I managed to make two rolls to attack. Both missed. Duncan [/QUOTE]
