[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1163042, member: 9990"] RB players tend to always be the ones that do exactly what you don't want them to. Ever had one of these scenarios? DM: "there is a rumored to be an undead army to the North marching this way, and the residents of this town are fleeing to the caves in the south, but the caves aren't completely safe either, unless a certain band of adventurers {ahem} clears the way for the weakened people..." RB Player (RBP): "I'm going to ride to the north to see if I can somehow find a way to stop the army." Other players (OP?): "but, um, that's too dangerous, we could die, I mean we barely escaped the first run in with them before..." RBP: "Nevermind that, we need to defeat them soundly this time. And I'm going no matter if you go with me or not!" OP: "Um, ok, i suppose we could start taking out scouting groups and harassing them from afar, perhaps disrupt their supply lines..." RBP: "They don't have supply lines! (Paraphrase: That makes me right, you wrong, so we should do what I say!)" DM: "you know, you could wait until you survive to 4th level..." RBP: "Off we go! To defeat the undead menace!" I hate when that happens. [/QUOTE]
