[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 3032325, member: 184"] But even here, the DM should take into account the adversary they are pretraying. A zombie? It just shambles towards the closest foe and hammers on it until it falls with no regard for tactics. A pack of wolves? They'll be sneaky and use flanking tactics, but as soon as they get hurt, survival instinct kicks in and they flee. A group of kobolds? Average inteligence, but quite clever with ambushes and traps. They'd never fight face-to-face against a superior, or even equal, force. Then, once you start getting to ancient beings of great intelligence, like a lich or aged dragon, this is when you can use your best tactics, as they haven't lived so long without being able to destroy any opposition in their way. Beings like this should have underlings the party has faced, and have intel on their abilites, and therefore be able to combat those abilites to the best of their own ability. So, while a DM should do thier best to create a challenge for PCs, they shouldn't use thier best tactics all the time. [/QUOTE]
