Since this is a thread about the rule called Surprise, I guess I'm inclined to push back on the use of the word "surprise" for things that aren't covered by the rule. It seems to confuse the issue. What you were talking about was the players readjusting their tactics because the situation in the game changed. I think it's important to remember that the players have the benefit of sitting at a table, away from the stress of battle, and probably have a lot more time to consider their options. This is why a rule like Surprise exists that imposes a mechanical constraint on the characters when they are caught off guard by something at the beginning of a fight. You can't count on the players to role play that they have been "surprised."</p></blockquote><p></p>
