Reaction rolls to see what disposition the monsters have at the start of the encounter, morale checks to see how long the monsters are willing to fight (almost no one is willing to fight to the death), and knowing what role they take to decide on their tactics. * The "almost" is covered by knowing what the monsters are doing at the scene and why they're there at that time. Generally speaking, unless the PCs' goals and the monsters goals are mutually exclusive they're not going to come into conflict...until the PCs mindlessly attack the monsters because they're monsters.The mentioned The Monsters Know What They're Doing line of books is a great resource.</blockquote>
