[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 1591479, member: 6779"] My players are an odd bunch ... it seems the harder they get smacked around, the more they like it -- [I]as long as nobody dies[/I]. Somebody dies, they're instantly frustrated and morose. So I have to walk a very fine line of throwing them against huge monsters, but making sure there are healings wands on hand. As a player, I prefer to keep somewhere in the middle pretty much all the time. I don't like encounters that are over in a single round, and I don't like "oh my gawd we're all gonna DIE!" Currently the campaign I play in is doing "Against the Giants/Liberation of Geoff," and the way giants have been buff-buff-buffed in 3.x, I gotta tell you, the game is a constant excercise in "HIIIIIDE! Hit-and-run! HIIIIIIDE!" I'm starting to yearn for a complex full of hobgoblins so I can just wade in and have a straight-up fight without being paranoid of how many party members we'll lose. -The Gneech :cool: [/QUOTE]
