Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9723395" data-attributes="member: 18">People thought about positioning, teamwork (not just the specific move) and general tactics vastly more in the fights we ran than D&D. Part of this, I think, is because with D&D, people have got into pretty standardized strategies which I don't think will ever quite happen in DH simply because it doesn't work that way - you can't predict things like kinda-clockwork re: initiative, actions, etc. because there is no initiative and the spotlight moves (and potentially unpredictably).It's definitely not 4E or Lancer, but there was a lot more engagement with thinking about tactics and dealing with annoying enemies and so on. Another piece here is that in general in DH it's much more likely a PC can just go and "take out" an enemy, where in D&D 5E if you don't roll great you might be stuck swinging at some archer or similar who you just can't quite kill for quite a while. In D&D even an unimportant enemy might have so many HP 2+ rounds are required to dispatch them even best-case which is rarely true here and rounds are much more fluid - if you rolled good you can keep the spotlight and then finish the enemy off, and we saw that happen. The fact that you can do this makes people think more about actual tactical moves.Re: builds I think we will see them emerge a bit as PCs level up - depending on how you spend your level up points you could definitely make certain Domain card choices work better or worse. But most D&D builds are ultimately defined by their Feats, something this game simply doesn't have.</blockquote>
