[QUOTE="Shabe, post: 4404721, member: 66108"] Just mix and match depending on what you think the monster feels like at the time and what will make the encounter fun. If you think the monsters are getting all bunched up around the defender, and the skirmisher has been marked by the defender let it take the penalty and go diving for the striker if it keeps the party on their toes. There's nothing more boring than the encounter playing out the same every time, I usually make the monsters avoid the penalty because they all know about it even if they are not intelligent, every now and then if the monster sees a better target the monster will trigger the penalty which lets the PCs utilise their ability and i usually get to hit the warlock or wizard which is a win win :p [/QUOTE]
