[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 3859533, member: 12966"] You've gotten some (obvious?) advice to upgrade your bad guys. Instead of lots of 1HD mooks, build them up a bit so that they don't die on their first hit. Another possibility is some simple tactics. A bunch of mooks approach and are wiped out. So others run away and the fighter follows... and falls into a pit trap (where I might rule that his chain can't be used vertically -- you would agree if you saw the Discovery channel show on oriental weapons, specifically the whip chain or dagger chain). I can also see the mooks knowing about a "haunted" area and drawing the PCs into it. Of course, the area isn't really haunted, but it is [u]hunted[/u] by a couple of pixies who loving pulling pranks while invisible. Such pranks could put the fighter at a real disadvantage. (Hmm. An invisible pixie carries an invisible 10-foot pole and sticks it into a hole in the ground covered by a [i]permanent illusion[/i]. When the fighter starts his schtick, the pixie sets his pole into the ground which really screws up someone with a swinging weapon as it wraps around the pole! A missed Reflex save and the fighter lets go of his weapon! The party lured into the territory of a couple of CR4 pixies could be in for some bad times!) [/QUOTE]
