[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8696125, member: 6801845"] Depends on the players. If a player is more casual about the game and likes getting suggestions now and then I may give them some ideas. Just because the PC is an expert at combat and utilizing their resources, doesn't mean the player is required to be. I play a fairly casual game and want everyone to have fun. Of course the player doesn't need to listen to anything I say. I never tell people what they should do, just give reminders and options. Hopefully if I mention something they find it thought provoking and nudge their own thinking. So I may remind the player that their fighter hasn't used their action surge, or mention the options (and potential risk) of courses of actions. This is primarily with newer players or people who just seem "stuck" and overwhelmed with options or perhaps it seems like I haven't described something well enough. I find it can help keep the game moving, but I also double check now and then to ensure that I'm not being annoying. So I frequently have a high level idea of what resources are left. [/QUOTE]
