There is no buffer... Fighting multiple opponents is very difficult even if those opponents only have basic ability... you won't see the flamboyant bravado even the lord of the rings characters display in the books (ignoring the movie) in a RQ based setting. It takes serious system hacking to make it less than "randomly" deadly. If you want a system to discourage heroic behavior choices by the players... I would recommend BRP. It fits Elric and Stormbringer style dark fantasy rather well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
