[QUOTE="Tom Cashel, post: 917525, member: 321"] We just had this situation come up on Saturday. The module states that unless the PCs hide their camp [i]extremely[/i] well, the drow send out a raiding party to attack their camp in the night. I rolled randomly to decide during which watch the assault happened. Once it began, the PCs started waking their companions (one of whom wears full plate, the other hide). Upon realizing that the fight would be over by the time they suited up, the PCs leapt into combat in only their tunics. Huzzah! They mopped the floor with the drow, and it was a pretty good fight! Especially since the party Wizard tossed a [i]mage armor[/i] at the armorless Cleric... Not every fight happens when the PCs are fully armored, at full hit points, stocked up on spells, etc. If the PCs have to fight a wandering monster when half the group is wounded, did the DM screw up? If the party mage refuses to participate in a fight because his spells are depleted, did the DM screw up? Should the original poster have had his [b]vampire[/b] villains attack during the DAY? I repeat: PCs afraid/unwilling to fight without armor are wusses. [/QUOTE]
