[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 1028759, member: 7533"] Ok... Sorry guys. Rereading my posts, I think I came off a little pissier than I intended. I just want to make certain that DMs using this sort of guide know that in the worst circumstance, their players could be doing that. Novice DMs (the ones most likely to use this), might not be able to judge player quality as well as more experienced DMs. I myself have been playing and DMing a very long time. I've had excellent players, and I've had some very "sorry excuses" for players. As such, I tend to plan for the worst, when I DM, and play my cards close until I know otherwise. It was meant to be a helpful warning, not a cease and desist order, though it may have sounded like one. Sorry again. That said... I think Destan and Wippit have the right ideas here. Round by round tactics are great, so long as they provide enough expaination and contigiencies to be useful. Tactics that simply state actions and spells to be used each round can too easily be derailed. Give me a few minutes, and I'll even come up with my own contribution to the effort. :) If no one else minds, I think I might tackle the Dragons... [/QUOTE]
