I'm very much in favour of 'Run Away - Live to Another Day' as a food solution to many challenges. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Another good solution for stuff like static traps and slow moving monsters is 'Go Around It'. I like these because they are not pixel-bitching tactics, they should be fairly apparent to and useable by almost anyone who'd paying attention.In my current Primeval Thule game, where there are not Balanced Encounters or Monster XP (I use a variant XP system), the default player solution seems to be "Make Friends With Monsters/Get Control of the Monsters" - which has been a lot of fun. In the big battle in the game yesterday the PCs brought a menagerie to the battlefield:2 Skeletal Cyclops1 Beastwoman Curse-Chanter1 Giant Guard LizardThey routinely outnumber the opposition <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> - and despite being generally well-underleveled for the adventures, tend to do very well.</blockquote>
