*Grin* I have on occasion asked a Paladin/Warrior NOT to taunt (use
one of their specials) for a while. To spread the damage out over
all in the party. And we have had our Shadowknight back out of the fight
entirely so that he will aggro more firmly on me and spread out damage more.
So, yes, I can see asking a warrior not to use his extra attacks for part
of a fight, if it makes the whole more efficient.
