[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8175645, member: 6855259"] I never said that and it would not happen in the game I play. People never "line up in a conga line and attack" in games I play. Ironically that is more or less what you think the party should do all just do an attack instead of thinking tactically. With an actual door the bladesinger just put the enemy at a huge disadvantage. They are not zombies though, they are going to try to remove it. they are NOT going to line up in a conga line. There is a lot of options, here are the three most likely how it would (and has) happened in my campaign. 1. Two orcs grapple the bladesinger, one uses help, the other uses grapple. This is not a winning strategy, but it takes away her advantage. She still has a high dex and wins more than she loses but good rolls on the part of the orcs and she is grappeled, then they move her out of the doorway. From an action economy point of view this hurts them severly but they willeventually suceed. 2. the try to use shove aside from the dmg. This is a shove with disadvantage. Again it is unlikely to work but better than attacking. 3. One orc tries to knock her prone to even the disadvantage while the other attacks. This is not likely to work. 4. The try overun to get behind her, into the meat of the party and flank her. This is suicide if it is successful. Those are the things that would likely happen at my table and it is exactly the opposite of a "conga line" [/QUOTE]
