Oh, cool! You know, I know this is a lot to ask, but if it's 
convenient, would you mind posting a Howard-Cosell-style blow-by-blow 
description of one of those melees, sometime? I've played a lot with 
beginning or near-beginning characters, but I really can't claim to 
have enough experience to understand what happens at higher levels - 
what spells and tactics work, and what doesn't. Something like this 
sounds like just what I'd like to hear. I'm sort of another rules 
purist (though I like to combine them in unexpected ways), so hearing 
about a serious combat done by canon sounds very nice.

Do any of your huge-melee teams ride in on warhorses, Cavalry Lances levelled?

Do the huge-melees allow magic items, or just native talents?

What's a Balrog look like, stats-wise?

Oh, and welcome, welcome!
