[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 505569, member: 4981"] [color=white] It is not cheesy for a DM to counter player tactics. Here is how it works in my group. If a tactic is used in combat against intellegent foes, or where intellegent beings can see it and all of those intellegent beings (let's say the little girl you're rescuing) are not killed then word gets out about the tactic. Once word is out about the tactic anyone who knows they will be coming up against you in battle can be prepared for it.
