[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 4095190, member: 198"] Why don't you ask the players? I think it's always a good thing to know what your players are thinking and why they're doing things, and the best way to find out is to have them tell you. And if that's the case, then I think it's important to tell players explicitly that it's not the case and that working on such an assumption will get them into serious trouble. Trying to show players that with in-game events is fine, but it's something that I think can use OOC statement too. Personally, I'm a big fan of challenging PCs with enemies who actually are not a credible threat CR-wise. If you use good tactics, you could give the PCs a really hard time with six 2nd lvl hobgoblins, which is only an EL 7 encounter, i.e. one that they should be able to roll over with no real trouble. And a dozen 2nd lvl hobgoblins could drop them. I'm guessing something like that would be a more educational experience than getting taken down than higher level enemies. [/QUOTE]
