[QUOTE="Autumn Bask, post: 7593850, member: 6986805"] I think so, too. I've noticed that there's a bit of a cultural divide on these forums between players who have experienced playgroups that are mostly cooperative with the DM vs. playgroups that are adversarial with the DM (i.e. can someone trust their players or not, & vice versa). It might help (though maybe not, depending on how adversarial your playgroup is) to ask them to imagine, or send them against an enemy who's using a familiar for advantage and see how they decide to handle it. Because in my groups, we usually have some sort of triage of targets that involves taking out the easiest-looking targets, that are making the most impact, first. It's important for players to understand that enemies in D&D aren't video game AI, they're (often) intelligent creatures capable of deducing the highest threat to ease-of-kill ratio on the battlefield.
