[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5254473, member: 3424"] Fairly often: - charge - flank These are fairly basic and (IMO) obvious tactics that almost all monsters would have the sense or the instincts to take advantage of. If a monster has no other way to attack a PC except by charging, it charges. If a monster can move into position to flank before attacking, it does so. Seldom: - grab - aid another - ready/delay action These are seldom used simply because grabbing and aiding another are seldom better options than even a monster's basic attack, and delaying or readying is seldom better than just taking its turn when it comes up. Situational: - focus fire on the controller instead of the defender - etc Here, my general rule of thumb is: what is the most fun yet plausible things for the monster to do. A controller who has not been very effective is unlikely to attract attention from a monster marked by the defender. However, if the controller has just used a daily that killed or incapacitated half the monster's allies, and the controller's player is basically daring the monster to attack him, it just might!
