[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 6258669, member: 710"] I think people consider this usually "[I]tactical [/I]planning", while strategic planning would be stuff like "do we have enough rations to reach our destination and get back home, how much rope do we need, do we have someone that can deal with traps, do we [I]have [/I]weapons to deal with demons/vampires/fey, do we have the letter from the king that gives us authority to do what we're out to do, do we have a viable light source at night and in dungeons, do we have spells to repair ability damage or drain". Stuff you think outside of combat - partially relevant for combat, partially relevant for exploration and what other challenges you might face. It was probably not uncommon in previous edition, but particularly 3rd edition, that a lot of strategic planning revolved around having the right spells prepared/available. WHich also lead to the feeling that spellcasters dominate the game. "Petrified by a Medusa? There's an app for that, I mean a spell for that." [/QUOTE]
