[QUOTE="Terath Ninir, post: 5597373, member: 47"] Some enemies will fight to the death. The horde of zombies will keep coming until the PCs have defeated it; the construct guarding the crypt will not stop until it is a pile of rubble. Some enemies will run at the drop of a hat. The goblins WILL skitter off as soon as they hear the Balrog coming. But a lot of encounters are somewhere in between. There are four times as many orcs as PCs. At what point are they going to realize they're dropping like flies and their numbers are *not* an advantage this time? I can handwave this and make guesses, but I'd like something a little more rules-based. I could come up with my own morale rules, but I hate reinventing the wheel when there are perfectly good wheels out there. So does anyone know of any good morale systems out there that I could yoink? Anything for 3.0, 3.5, or Pathfinder could work. Now that I think about it, other d20 systems could work, too, as long as they're not *too* far off of D&D. [/QUOTE]
