Understood, altough Will's case it is not magic but his abilities as knight. It seems he is holding well the 'aggro' of several orcs :). But only because no one rolled critical and I got nice hits with sunder checks. Consider spears had reach it means orcs will charge next round? I thinked just stand where Will is, ready action to strike once any orc is in reach so Will gets AoO vs each charging orc + 1 attack from readied action. Also note if any allies are adjacent to him, he can use shield ally feature to brush off half dmg to himself if needed :P.
