[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 493868, member: 2209"] I put depends. I generally want a scout in the front for traps and seeing enemies before they see up but I've also played the brick who says to the rest of the party "stay a few feet back there could be traps." In the game I run, the assassin with an invisibility ring usually is asked to be and says he is in the lead, but he is usually 20 feet behind the rest of the party. I was playing in one 2e game with this other guy who played a powerful evil character who had picked up a ring of contrariness. I had used charm person on him as a means of keeping him from attacking me straight out, but it had worn off but he was playing along to eventually catch me off guard (I guessed that had happened but I was playing along with his playing along, it was an intrigue heavy game made more intense by the fact that he was more powerful than I was in magical zaps). It was just the two of us and we wanted to explore a dungeon. So I said to him "all right, I'll take the lead" and then I started for the stairway leading into the dungeon. He thrust out his arm to stop me, puffed up his chest and said, "Hold on, I go first!" Then he got this sheepish look on his face and said "hey. . . damnit." [/QUOTE]
