[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 1737067, member: 3854"] Also I notice a great tendancy to want to push as hard as possible even against a provably unmovable wall. I've seen many times how PCs will stick in a loosing fight because they have the idea that "one more round" will turn it around. I've also seen PCs with the ability to escape dismiss the idea to continue geting their butts kicked. A case in point (I was not the DM): 2 PCs were getting creamed in melee combat by a bugbear monk. The PCs had only scratched the monk, but the monk was nailing them with almost every attack. Then the monk backed off a moment to laugh and sneer. The PCs had the perfect opportunity to flee (I suspect the DM pulled the monk away to give them the chance to survive), but instead they pull out their range weapons and shoot at the monk. So the monk jumped back on them and emptied the can of whoop-ass. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
