[QUOTE="OldGreybeard, post: 4573989, member: 80691"] It doesn`t help me as a DM, with a group of players who never retreat from combat, even when the monster is either too hard, they are low on spells, previously wounded or have special abilities all characters dislike(like energy/level drain), sometimes the whole point of the encounter is to flee to fight another day. Point in mind: Said player, is a Half Ogre Barbarian of 9th level so not soft, pulls open a dusty grey stone sarcophagus, disturbing the remains of a long dead priest, suddenly from the broken bones rises a man shaped mist, now i might step back beside the cleric at this point, as its probably undead, nope he waits and attempts to whack it, Inititiative, he strikes and misses 50% incorporeal, it hits and drains two levels, character walks away, player in a sulk. I didn`t think i was being mean to the players then. [/QUOTE]
