[QUOTE="Fingol, post: 2045909, member: 22679"] Yep NPCs and decent or otherwise CR monsters have a life all of their own independent of the DM. When the lights go out, the dice are packed away, the players go back to their hobbit holes and the DM goes back to his she devil, the NPCs continue to walk around looking up. However when they now look up they go: "Hey notice how we can see the ceiling instead of half a dozen faces leering at us?" Followed by a quick: Yeah lets get the PCs. We outnumber them, and their players aren't there to guide their actions. Unlike them we don't need a face hovering above us to be clever." The evil NPCs then suddenly grow half a brain and use hit and run tactics, and they suddenly target one member of the PCs at a time. Isolating him and taking him down before moving on to the next one. And who knows what evil plots they come up with, we certainly will not as we are not there to witness these spectacular phenomena. Which is too bad, as most DMs might have learned something from these cunning, decent, but evil CR monsters. [/QUOTE]
