[QUOTE="Dr_Sage, post: 4630358, member: 36185"] Well, I see your point here, but to be blunt its assuming lots of knowloge and strategy that many creatures simple does not possess. We discussed this in the battlertager tread and I will give here the same example I gave there: "Lets do an experiment: Lets enter a Hungry Lion´s cage with this party configuration: - A heavy armored guy going on front and challenging the lion. - A light armored sneaky guy walking behind the cage´s corners approaching the lion step by step. - A guy (probably me) with an assaut rifle (I can´t imagine a bigger treat than that) ready to shoot, but from a safe distance. Wanna bet the "plate guy" will die first? This would work the same with aligators, Big snakes... Certaly would work for a bull... same for a Shark... So lets be a bit "realistic", for low-inteligent AND for low experienced creatures: the primary target will be aways the guy in the front." *************************** And secondly leaving roleplay issues asside its the Striker´s role to take care as well, using movement and position, interrupt powers etc. At least its my opinion: DMs have to be fair here... battle is chaotic, full of split-second decisions and we all have the tendency of attacking whoever is closest to us.
