[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5324425, member: 9255"] The one bar fight I did was in a Darksun campaign. The PCs were mistaken to be templar snitches and attacked. It was designed to get them out of that area (aka run for it) but PCS do what PCs do best- mess with the DM's grand schemes of influence and power. Anyhow- battle went as planned until one PC rolled a natural twenty on his "Luck roll" (Wisdom check for something not there but should be... aka a weapon under the bar) So one player is suddenly with a weapon while the others run down the length of the bar and leap into the wall (hoping the dry rot wood would break) and crash through it. Soon everyone was on the run but the whole town will never forget the fight. That is my one and only true bar fight. What did I do to prepare for it? Lots of low level NPCs. On a card I set up 3-4 distinctive personality traits and quotes to throw out there. From there.... go with the flow. Think of the most likely outcomes and prepare for them but remember..... there are always PCs that decide to leap through the wall rather than try the door where a lead to the next adventure is waiting....
