I'm playing in a Dungeon and Dragons game and am looking to improve my character's chances of survival.
At first I considered asking for tricks or combinations of actions which would allow them to survive a wide range of possible dangers but now believe this is secondary to how I approach problems in the first place.
So I ask you, How should I be approaching problems?
Some of the answers in this area have been:
Know your role in the party.
Understand your role in the party and make certain you're doing it.
Prepare for every possibility.
Paranoia isn't enough. You have to be over-prepared as well. To consider everything which might happen and develop a counter to it, and practice it until you reach the point that when it happens you aren't wondering what to do because you already know what you should be doing.
Be flexible.
I don't entirely understand this one but the example they gave seemed like, "Recognize when the situation has changed, identify your new objective, and work towards achieving it."
Do you have any advice on what mindsets I should be using when dealing with the dangers of the D&D worlds?
