[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7144929, member: 1465"] 1. I have no problem giving hints to the players such as "this foe looks hard to kill" or "this foe looks really beyond your league". I could also flat-out tell them what is the monster's CR, but you can put that behind an Intelligence check if you don't want it to feel too much of a cheat. 2. Because they don't want to. If you were attacked by someone in the street, then punch him hard in the face, and he would start fleeing, would you go after him? You've already won and got what you wanted, why would you risk? Sometimes, the defendants would be motivated to counterattack, and some other times they would not. There isn't a "must do" in every case. For instance, if the defendants are [I]guarding [/I]a place, they would be very foolish to leave their posts to follow the attackers, running the risk of leaving their place open for a second attack or even running into a trap?
