[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 4613253, member: 46713"] I'm the DM for a group of nine players in 3E. I've found that the only way to get them to deviate from their 'standard' tactic is to vary their opposition. I'm trying to use all kinds of monsters and especially pay attention to their resistances and immunities so they cannot simply be blasted to oblivion. I've never seen anyone using bull-rush, disarm or fighting defensively. There's one player who uses trip attacks from time to time and there was one player using power attacks some of the time. They're now approaching level 13 and to be honest, I'll be glad when I can finally finish the campaign (it's going to be another 2 or 3 adventures so they should be level 15-16 in the end). After more than five years I'm in danger of burnout... Nonetheless, my players are pretty happy overall and aren't interested in switching to 4E. Maybe I should also note that noone has been interested in playing one of the ToB classes, so far, since they 'look too complicated'. [/QUOTE]
