I can imagine it being fun to go down in a blaze of glory, but then you're back to square one in the next session. New character etc.. I enjoy looting, gaining exp and roleplaying. As overly heroic actions more often than not bring quick halt to the first two on that list, I don't bother being too heroic. A couple of sessions ago my 8th cleric encountered an Ogre Magi, Illithid and a Sphinx. We were surprised, and half of us were stunned by the mind blast. I wasn't. One cleric and a rogue against those.. and the rogue was in another room. I knew that if I could drop the illithid in one round I might save the the situation. I chose not to - I ran like hell. Told the rogue to run too. It would've been heroic to try to rescue the others, by going against the three baddies alone. It was also a possible death for me (rogue would've been stunned with his low Will save), and a possible TPK too. Reset campaign. A little too big price on heroics, don't ya think?</blockquote>
