[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 2751290, member: 14557"] A while back, in our Eberron game, a player who's usually very tactically astute made a bone-headed mistake. We were going into an old Cannith facility per our Johnson's request. We were going into what we knew was an office complex, or at least had been at one point. The spirit shaman/marshal decided that he would walk down the hall, past unopened doors, to get into the office. Obviously, a clear violation of procedure. So, the door he's nearing opens and a quartet of undead come forth. The fighter and ranger advance to support. The off-the-cuff plan is to hold them in the hallway and have fire support from the wizard and arcane trickster. Not a terribly great plan, given that the undead explode when you kill them, but such is a melee character's lot in life, right? Then one of the side doors opens, with another quartet of undead, and we're cut off from the casters. Many rounds later, the spirit shaman/marshal is dead, having been exploded on one too many times. The initial mistake that he made was compounded by the fighter (me) going up to support rather than having the spirit shaman/marshal fall back. Brad [/QUOTE]
