[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7461377, member: 6919838"] I tend to agree - I find it's better as two-way street. Characters adapt their tactics and choices as well as the GM keeping those choices in mind. That helps emphasize the importance of those choices and show them in play - both good and bad. It could be as simple as the GM making sure the "big gangs" are given the "easy to spot" signs appropriate for large groups so that the PCs without AOE at the "expected tier" can make plans armed with the info. A summer campaign many many years ago had medium healing and no heavy armor types, so we made sure as players to avoid pinned down slugfests and kept with fast hit and run type tactics. We turned down some missions because they looked more risky due to terrain, adversaries etc and the GM never *forced* us into a heavy stationary stand by GM fiat and rolled with it. Had he been a more "this is the only dungeon - do it or we don't play" to drive us into dungeon crawls in tight spaces it would not have been as much fun for the summer. [/QUOTE]
