[QUOTE="Xantherion, post: 6358362, member: 6776596"] I can understand why people do not like TPK's. However have no problems with having encounters that much higher as the PC's. I also don't have an issue with set guidelines during the encounter detailing that the creature abandons the fight at a certain point. That reminds me of the morale rules. Basically the creature takes a set amount of damage, makes a morale check, if fails it flees. I can easily see a scenario where the PC's are in a city that is being attacked by an adult dragon. Fire rains down on the buildings, people running for their lives. The PC's are doing what they can to save peoples lives, and maybe taking pot shots at the dragon. The party and the dragon do not directly attack each other, stand up fight, but fight indirectly. At a certain point the dragon bails. This can lead to the party with a great intro storyline, and swear to avenge the town and slay the dragon. This is a story that has been done a lot in fiction. I can easily see this type of thing happening in Lake Town, when Smaug attacks it. Instead of being killed, he is wounded and driven off. [/QUOTE]
