[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5577875, member: 67338"] Maybe you dont understand... Bruse willis in Die hard gets the crude beat out of him all the time...and in the movie no one would trade places with him (he is the punching bag) but most of the screen time is his, he is the star... I have 6 players that all want 'screen time' and I try to make sure they all get eqaul amounts... focusing all my attacks on the power gamer, or even throwing extra bad guys for him only is just giving him more screen time... Lets take 5 PCs and put them against 5 equal level monsters... now lets take 3 monsters and pile them on the power gamer that means player 1 fights 1 monster player 2 fights 1 monster player 3 fights 3 monsters player 4 has no monsters to fight player 5 has no monsters to fight So, yes 4 and 5 can attack on there turns, but then they sit out until there next turn... player 1 is getting attacked once, player 2 as well... player 3 on the other hand is 'in the spot light' not just on his turn (when he does better then others) but also 3 other turns when he gets to show off his intrupts and reactions, his high defences and such...
