Once, long ago, I saw a fellow PC charge a group of 10-15 men, then halt on the staircase between them. "Ha!" the player cried, "I've got 2 bastard swords, they don't have missile weapons, and they can only come at me one at a time! Yahoo!" Upon which his character demanded they surrender or die.

So they looked at each other, and Disrupted him en masse the next turn.

Thud.

Don't matter how high your sword skill is, if you ain't got the magic points to back it up. -- Old Humakti Saying.
