<Snipped quote by Rilla>You talk about two different things.
If somebody has "insert random number of enemies" then it's an abuse unless he explicitly has such power and then he's probably up against people who are on similar level of power.

What you describe is very much the same as somebody auto-destroying your swords, disarming you and rendering your powers useless. In a plain unavoidable autohit abuse.
Would you recognize this as being fair?

The difference is, swords aren't NPCs, they are classified as equipment - and most people recognize that, which is why you wouldn't see anyone auto take your swords, unless they are one of those super godmodders.

But, it's not two different things. If you enter with day a main character, and he has say, 4, flanking people. Those are considered NPCs, the one that isn't is the main character and they fall under the general NPC rules. Unfortunately, those didn't also make the jump to NuGuild, as it were, but they are the same. 

I liken it to the Skallagrim vs DJ fight, again. A Gothi vs a team of trained veterans; CHo was the main one, leader as it were, and even though the rest were trained, they were still considered NPCs. If they weren't, and were more or less considered individual characters, that would have been a wholly unfair fight.
