[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8703048, member: 11"] I think that is a good rule of thumb for a game seeking to emulate a book or movie, but not all of us are trying to or want to do that (I know that is not how I see my game overall, even if some moments of tension and pacing do parallel books or movies). To answer my own poll question, I see no problem with a party deciding to [I]try[/I] to turtle up after one tough fight, if that is what they feel like they need to do. It would be a problem if this was their reaction to every combat encounter, just like any other strategy you do over and over would be a problem, because not all potential solutions fit all situations and trying to do that is either the definition of insanity or the result of an insane world where doing the same thing over and over always works. I have not seen the 5MWD even once in 5E so far. I have seen it some in previous editions, but for none of them would I have described it as "regularly." [/QUOTE]
