[QUOTE="FourthBear, post: 3877207, member: 55846"] I play with real people as well, but the real people I play with like to think that they're using all of their resources to their best effect and their enemies are doing likewise. If characters (either PCs or NPCs) aren't using obvious tactics because it would spoil the entertainment value, the problem almost certainly lies with rules that provide those obvious entertainment spoiling tactics. Scry-Buff-Teleport isn't smart or clever, it's just common sense. If people like the arms race where you've got to have certain wards and defenses to play the game at high level, that's one thing. But having those abilities and just not using them to their best effect because you'd be acting like a "computer"? I wouldn't enjoy that since it would spoil the air of verisimilitude and suspension of disbelief. It's like in science fiction when they don't use the special widget they invented in the last book to solve a problem. [/QUOTE]
