[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2934600, member: 35788"] Well, you could make the BBEG larger than life and more powerful than the PCs so that they have to run from him a couple of times before being powerful enough to take him down. That will make them cautious. If its only a 2-3 session game, load up the npcs with nice magical equipment like boots of teleportation or give them ranks in UMD and give them a wand of DImension Door or stuff like that. That make retreating easy. Or, you could have a long chat with them about the fact that maybe being "good" implies a respect for all life and not just their own. So if they are being "good" then killing is bad. I often play many of my characters with the mentality tat killing anything except to use as food is evil, thus my groups tend to take a bunch of prisoners. The nice thing about this is the majority stay locked up, but a few escape or get "busted out of jail" by their underlings. That way they don't have to run to stay alive. [Caution. Don't use this tactic often at all or the PCs will lose faith in the jail system!] Have PCs that use magical means of battlefield control. Obscurring Mist is a great spell at almost any level - especially inside where there is no wind! Things like Obscuring Mist followed by a Dimensior Door or Teleportation allow for virtually untracable retreats. [/QUOTE]
