[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 1547913, member: 3801"] We also agree here. Now, I wouldn't intentionally oppose my players with a monster that is too far above their ability - although there are many that are. Usually, when they wander by accident into an area where they shouldn't be, they'll get signals - and it's their job to correctly interpret the signals. If they choose to ignore them, then I can't be held at fault - I don't want to railroad them, even if it's for their own good. I do present them with challenges, and some are quite difficult. Every challenge that I intend for them to fight can be won. However, players do tend to wander where they shouldn't - and worse, they sometimes get an "invincible" air about themselves. This usually results in a player death or two. Next time, they will learn that when they see three dragons of three different colors, perhaps shooting one and charging the other two isn't really a good idea... [/QUOTE]
