[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 1973342, member: 9254"] Sometimes. Rarely. Okay, maybe twice. Once the players had the McGuffin the BBEG wanted. He'd ambushed them once with a "light" assault force (it involved a tendriculous) and was prepared to do it again weekly. They were discussing things internally and one of them got the bright idea to hang out a white flag. The BBEG sent an (obvious) simulacrum) to negotiate. The party did a little research and determined the McGuffin would either kill the BBEG or speed up a transformation they wouldn't interfere with intentionally. (It's a divine ascension thing and they, for no reason I can ascertain, see no reason there shouldn't be evil gods in the world as long as they don't have a "kill the world" agenda.) So they gave him the McGuffin. There were a few encounters where they decided to talk to the dragon and not attack on sight; that was good. They have a very healthy "don't infuriate the dragon" policy. Once they invaded an "abandoned" wizard's tower and were attacked by the mimics who'd decided after a few generations it was theirs. The party decided negotiation was an option when one summoned a lantern archon. Mmmm, I haven't really had a whole lot of BBEGs in 18 levels and, IIRC, only one of them has been killed. Well, I differentiate between BBEG and "boss fight." There's been quite a few boss fights. Some aren't evil, though. [/QUOTE]
