[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8823052, member: 7006"] No.. you are CHOOSING to make it actively difficult for the players to retreat. The GAME is not telling you to have these orcs believe [I]"the murderous goons might return to finish the job? Because I want vengeance? Because We're great warriors who will not suffer the insult? Because it's clear we have the advantage because they ran and if they regroup with a larger force, we might lose that"[/I]... YOU are doing that. YOU. Not the game. YOU. Don't blame the game because YOU are training your players never to retreat because YOU will chase them down every single time with the enemies because YOU think every single monster in the game has this same mentality of "gotta kill 'em all cause otherwise they're just gonna come back and kill us." Which is FINE of course... if you and your players are okay with retreat not being an option. If you and your players are okay with every fight being to the death where one side wipes out the other... that's cool! Have fun! But don't mistakenly think that it's the game rules that are causing this to happen. [/QUOTE]
