[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7522438, member: 15882"] I'm not confused on how sanctuary works. If an enemy uses all its movement to approach and attack and then, consequently fails its save, and has no-one else to attack, it loses its action because it has no more movement and no-one else to attack. If the DM uses Out of Character knowledge to have the monster move to a different target just to avoid the risk of wasting a monster's action - when that monster shouldn't know what the spell actually does - then I don't think that is fair. This is the point I'm trying to make. A DM shouldn't use Out of Character information to avoid PCs who do the dodge action. A zombie will, generally, attack the closest enemy. If those zombies are circumventing the dodging PC in favour of attacking someone who is not dodging, then using dodge is a poor tactic but only because the DM is being unfair to the player. IMO.
