[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3760225, member: 48965"] But even in this example resource management does come into play... Fighting an enemy you can kill in a single swordstroke is easy Fighting 4 such enemies is only less easy if you have to sacrifice something(hp's/spells/etc.) to do it otherwise it is no harder than the above encounter, just takes more dice rolls. Fighting 2 enemies that take 3-4 attks to kill is again only less easy in how they affect your resources, if it's neligible then it is again as easy as encounter one and just takes longer to resolve. Now fighting an enemy that is immune to all but your most powerful forms of attack. Or fighting an enemy which is relatively vulnerable to your attacks, but who has an attack that will paralyse or kill you out right. Both of these examples take away your at-will or per encounter resources(either by being immune to anything but your most powerful or paralysing you) or take all your resources by auto-killing you. thus yes it is more difficult than the first. Yet we again went from breeze encounter(with varying lengths) to a supreme danger situation. Either everything has to be able to neutralize your resources in one encounter or you will beat it with no consequences since they will recharge. [/QUOTE]
