[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 1211342, member: 1131"] Greetings! Well, Carebear, it sounds like you have your work cut out for you!:) In DM'ing my group, I always tell them, if they don't use tactics, then they will all die. Period. Now, even as the player, you, as the character, can step up and be the leader by demanding that the other characters pay attention and get with the program, or they will die. Your character doesn't have to go along with their stupid frontal attacks, and you can say this is what I think we should do, and do it; if they don't follow, you can still go off and do what you want, or at least not accompany them into a stupid death, and when they get slaughtered, it won't be because you weren't there, it will be because they were stupid and deserved to die!:) Hopefully, when the DM has them make up new characters, they will be lower level, meanwhile your character will be advancing, and be a higher level, and be in even a better position to not only lead, but also survive. You have to be rough with some people, and demand that they get with the program and not be stupid! Remember to play your character with the intelligence and skill that is appropriate to your character! If this means that the rest of the party dies, then so be it! After they keep losing characters for their stupid actions, maybe they will get the point.:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
