I don't cheat though, I'm as consistent in my rulings, I roll the dice where players can see them, I don't fudge for or against the PCs; the dice fall where they may. However, I'm very good at optimizing monsters and npcs. I make liberal use of save or dies, I expect my players to know how to play their characters, I play all intelligent foes as if they actually have intellect and I expect players to make use if intelligent, small unit tactics. I expect players to surrender or flee when they get in over their heads, which can happen a lot in an open sandbox. If the players wander into the Trollhell Mts. at level 1? They're probably going to die, all of them, and it won't be up to me, the DM, to save them. The players at my regular game have become top notch, though they don't flee or negotiate as much as they probably should. It's the randoms at game stores and whatnot that probably suffer the brunt of my Killer DMness.This is all from a 3.5E perspective.</blockquote>
