[QUOTE="Cpt. Anonymous, post: 1114816, member: 5779"] MY thoughts run thus: 1) if the PC's get roasted they deserve it. Every and i repeate every battle can be won with amazing tactics and a little luck. I have seen PC's takje on the impossible and win by out thinking the DM 2)Although death might be fairly easy to over come it might have a few set backs. A level down is nothing but if you bring them back with the 4th level spell reincarnate. Tjhey have the extra problems of being a boar or a chicken or something. and its way fun to play a character trapped in a new body. 3) if PC's dont ever run dont be afraid NOT to bring them back. serously consider this. if you are willing to sacrifice all of your work. hose them and leave em that way. next campaign they wont be so stuck up about running. 4)if you have an oveer abundance of running. have something bad happen to them say broken legs or what not. maybe their base of operation finds itself massacred. or turn the campaign into obne big man hunt for the PC's it could have possibilities. One way or another you can outhink the PC and screw them up no matter what. 5)If the PC's dont have a backup plan. let the enemies have a back up plan. forcing the pc's to get a backup plan. a good badguy back up is to have a cleric at the back outyof site that has a wand of heal or two. let the bad guys run around the corner and run back fully healed. IF and only if the PC's ruin your work or wonty smart up, to such a degree you get to frustrated. JUst kill them in their sleep and quit Ddming for a while. I personally have done this once and the result is they think i am a cranky DM. Stupid PC's anyway. Sincerely Cpt. Anonymous [/QUOTE]
