As a player my greatest battle was when I was playing a Barbarian (Unearthed Arcana version). He was 6th level and our party was ambushed by Cyclops. We took something of a beating (I was down to 25 or so hp's) but were winning when the last cyclop fled. Wanting the kill I chased. I had the running and endurance proficiencies. The rest were forced to stop but I chased the cyclops all the way to his lair, where there were two more cyclops (uninjured). After a mighty battle I was victorious. Had 1 hit point left. The dm was rolling his dice right in front of me too so he wasnt "giving me a break". He upped me a level for that. That was a great fight
