[QUOTE="Aust Diamondew, post: 2612472, member: 5156"] I have use guerilla tactics against the PCs before. Hit and run with weak opponents who then after recuperating come back and hit again at a bad time. Terrorist type threats I use fairly consistently in D&D, hostage taking, threats to destroy or actual destruction of buildings and civilians (or at higher levels even entire cities). Martyrdom and suicide attacks are prevalent in most D&D games I think. I occaisonally have soldiers who will fight to the death. And sometimes fairly villains I will purposely have fight to the death in the name of a deity/nation/cause (as will PCs I might add). I'm planning on using guerilla tactics against against a group of PCs at some point with forest trolls (MMIII) maybe a dozen or so. They'll attack for a couple rounds then run away and heal all of their wounds and then keep attacking. As an aside terrorism is nothing new. Alexander the Great wiped out whole villages in Afganistan becuase he couldn't distinguish who were the people that were conducting Guerrila/Terrorist attacks against him and who weren't. Both his actions and the actions of the people resisting him can be defined as terrorism. Religious fanaticism isn't new either. People always think whats happening today is new and different that it has never happened before. For example, countless times in history people have fought a war that they thought would be the war to end all wars (guess it wasn't huh?). [/QUOTE]
