[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4304807, member: 48965"] Yeah, I guess Tetris is a rpg too. Whatever man you can call anything an rpg, monopoly, Clue, etc. Doesn't make it so. No, he's likely to be following the tactics presented with said monster by the game designers. Never said you should start with 100% mastery. New players however shouldn't have to have 60% mastery of rules and 60% mastery of tactically applying said rules to be effective. Uhm...ok. What about at-will's, how do you know which is better to use? How about marking...I've found if the fighter (or Warlock, Ranger, Paladin, etc.) doesn't mark a fight can go real bad quickly. How do you determine the "boss" monster? Yeah breathe that fire, just make sure none of the other players are in it's range. Don't forget your bonus when your bloodied or that Wis bonus to your OA's. Or the persistent bonuses when you use your daily...oh yeah, do those stack with Dragonborn fury? My player's played exactly how you described above at first and lost to Kobolds. Yeah, that would be a great way for a new person's first game to go. [/QUOTE]
