[QUOTE="deleteme123456, post: 4458299, member: 65832"] What if it's an NPC Fighter or NPC Paladin? Might they recognize being called out as one of their own tricks being turned against them? "Hey you, Evil Paladin of Tiamat! I challenge you to a duel; in the name of Bahamut, I vow to smite thee!" EPoT: "Whatever. I'm just going to go feast on your friend the Wizard's entrails, because even at -2 to attack, I still have a better chance of hitting him. I'm sure I won't be zapped by divine judgement or antyhing. No sirree, wouldn't want that." And then where do you draw the line? You play annoying games where some monsters know and some don't, and have to try to resolve that as a DM, while paying attention to what all the players at the table are doing, maintain some seblance of strategy with your monsters (I've played with a DM who doesn't use strategy and tactics in combat and we absolutely wipe the floor with the bad guys every combat [3.5E]).
