[QUOTE="Destan, post: 1026112, member: 12157"] Gentlefolk, I thought - incorrectly, as it turns out - that a majority of the creatures listed within the 3.5 MM would include a round-by-round breakdown of suggested tactics. They don't. And they should. I was wondering if there's any interest within the community to fix this 'omission.' I was thinking we could gather folks' recommendations, throw 'em all into a neat file, and then make it available to anyone who may be interested. Or, I suppose, we could just keep posting tactical suggestions to this thread. Or maybe there's a better way to go about it? Personally, I'd love to hear what other DM's have done with some of the more complex creatures. I've found that a fair amount of the time I spend planning mid- to high-level encounters is consumed by generating round-by-round lists of potential actions. I do this so I don't forget to use certain key abilities, spells, items, etc. Since I can't keep my kids locked in the closet forever, it'd be nice to have recommended tactics already available. Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. So maybe most folks don't need something like this. Talk to me, Goose. Destan This post was inspired by my desire to avoid doing anything productive, and this thread: [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1026079#post1026079]3.5 Monster Manual Issues[/URL] [/QUOTE]
