[QUOTE="HalWhitewyrm, post: 2546324, member: 4046"] Way back in the day, whenever we entered a dungeon (and for a while, that's all that existed in the universe) we went room by room cleaning it out like we worked for Orkin or something. The idea that we retreat for tactical reasons, let alone skip rooms alltogether, was just utterly alien. We also did the whole "clean the dungeon by following the numbers" Ari mentions. My favorite, however, was my friend Manuel, playing a Fighter (you know, back when that meant you were human) who carried a polearm +2. One day, in the treasure of a vanquished monster, he found a polearm +3 (magic items came with ID tags standard). Next game, when he attacks, he does so with a polearm +5. We all asked where had that come from? His answer, "Well, I had a polearm +2 and a polearm +3, so I put them together to have a polearm +5." :) [/QUOTE]
