That cliche/trope is amazingly old, I can't believe the guy takes credit for it. Even if it was 2 years ago.

Seriously, I remember seeing that in some "Laws of Anime" in the 90s and even that probably wasn't original.

I wonder if there were books where ninjas (or at least highly skilled fighters of some sort, cowboys?) get trounced by the dozen.

20's pulp would be the place to start.  Followed shortly by Dumas, although I don't remember anything from it...

So you want Toady to intentionally weaken monsters in the game according to how many there are?

What is the point of wolves then?

Also, that's not revamping the Combat System. That's posting a link, and assuming that people understand that you want your combat to become easier.

Having had the crap kicked out of me by a bunch of people (for funzies, not for realzies), I can tell you that combat gets HARDER the more people are mobbing you.
