Ancient Knightly Wisdom (True Quote, no matter the source)
Sir William:
--- Quote from: James Anderson III on 2011-04-08, 22:31:44 ---Interesting idea, Sir Edward. In all of my RPG experience, you usually thin out the "minions" when confronting larger bosses, so that the remaining party members can focus on the big guy and take him down with extreme prejudice. You just have to be faster at eliminating the minions than the boss is at eliminating your team mates.
--- End quote ---
I think it depends on the situation, in a RPG anyways. I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins and of late, I've been going for the Boss; splitting my team into two- the other two deal with the minions while I and another (usually a heavy melee character if the Boss is carrying a weapon) engage the Big guy. It works...at least it has for me. Especially when the Boss character can revive or replace the minions at will. lol

Porthos: "May one delicately ask the cause in which we are expected to die?"
Aramis: "When you go on a campaign, does the King give his reasons? He says Porthos fight, and you fight."
Porthos: "I do, I do."
Aramis: "Then let's go and be killed where we're told to. Is life worth so many questions?"

"Even a small, inept street-fighter has a tremendous advantage over the average middle-class American, who hasn't had a fight since puberty. It is a simple matter of accumulated experience, of having been hit or stomped often enough to forget the ugly panic that nice people associate with a serious fight. A man who has had his nose smashed three times in brawls will risk it again with hardly a thought. No amount of instruction in any lethal art can teach this."-Dr H.S. Thompson
Thorsteinn:
"I am not a skilled martial artist. But I know a little, picked up in training with Murphy and some of the other SI cops over the years at Dough Joe's Hurricane Gym. Real fighting is only slightly about form and technique. Mostly it's about timing, and about being willing to hurt somebody. If you know more or less when to close to distance and throw the punch, you're most of the way there. But having the right mind-set is even more important. All the technique in the world isn't going to help you if you come to the fight without the will to wreak havoc on the other guy."

Thorsteinn:
There is something to be learned from a rainstorm.
When meeting with a sudden shower,
you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road.
But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses,
you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning,
you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking.
This understanding extends to everything.
--Yamamoto Tsunetomo

John Crichton: [on a suicide mission] How come I'm not afraid?
General Ka D'Argo: Fear accompanies the possibility of death. Calm shepherds its certainty.
John Crichton: I love hanging with you, man.
