[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7221405, member: 83242"] A coupe of points: 1) I don't feel each encounter needs to be dramatic. In fact, some mundane encounters set up the larger dramatic ones quite well in my opinion. If they area all dramatic they kinda don't stand out as much. The overall drama can be enhanced by having some simpler combats. 2) If you handwave or SC simple encounters then it kinda telegraphs that these encounters are not important, which seriously reduces the tension. If I have a fight with 20 minion and a single standard, it can look like a fight with 20 standards and single elite. When combat starts the ruse is basically up, but how the PCs approach it can be very different. 3) I think a 3 round fight can be tactically interesting. 4) I think a 3 round fight can be strategically interesting That my work for the group you play with, but it is not how I run games or how my group likes it. That is way to much DM fiat form my tastes. [/QUOTE]
