Ak: added wikipedia link

'''Crowd control''' or '''CC''' is an RPG term for killing or managing large amounts of enemies at once.

==Examples==
Spells or [[skill]]s that affect (damaging or just occupying) many enemies at once are called crowd control skills/spells. Such skills can be devastating, multi-target attacks, or more subtle techniques that draw all of the enemies to a single point, freeze or slow them, or somehow control their AI.
