[QUOTE="jrients, post: 2221523, member: 13559"] Let me get this straight: Under your scenario the encounter could start by the fighter showing up uninvited to the wizard's tea party. The fighter is clearly looking to kill the wizard. My solution is for the wizard to leave. Clearly your swordman has failed to fufill his intended goal. And you say the fighter wins? It would be an odd victory if you fail to make your victory conditions yet still get to claim a win. Now if you want to discuss a scenario in which the two combatants are having tea together and a fight breaks out, that's fine by me. Both are equally underprepared. The wizard may have a suboptimal spell selection but the fighter probably didn't come to the tea party armed and armored to the teeth. Or you can look at both of them gunning for a fight, with both sides prepared. But if you want a scenario where the one participant ambushes the other then the defender escaping ought to be a win for the ambushed party. Otherwise, why aren't we also examining a scenario in which the wizard goes gunning for the fighter? [/QUOTE]
