Many good points.*Gate guards are assumed to be something you can beat.*Most encounters, unless there are obvious cues to the contrary, are assumed to be beatable in a lot of games.*When you've got a lot of HP, you're not inclined to run without a good reason.*In most cases there will be time to R&R after a tough encounter.*Healing spells and other big magics.*What, and throw away all those nice shiny XPs? (And phat loot!)*Fighting is fun, especially if things have been dull recently.*One of the most important, really, is that in almost all games (D&D anyway) characters can fight until they drop without the slightest reduction in their fighting ability.*Running rarely works as most monsters are faster, or at least as fast, as the characters. &etc.Have my characters/party ever run? You betcha! Would I ever surrender one of my characters? Hell no! (Why? Um, well, because... that's not heroic?)</blockquote>
