I tired to avoid giving this impression but I may have anyway. Inadvertently.I am not advocating the idea that the DM is the Enemy at all times and in any and all senses of the phrase. I personally don't support that idea.What I am saying is that when it comes to combat and fighting game foes or monsters then study the tactical and fighting habits of your DM because he is the one who will be the monster(s). He is the real game foe, because the foe will fight according to how he fights the foe. Therefore every fight is really training for winning the next one. It was a little play on words.Not that he is the monster trying to kill you, but that the monster who is trying to kill you, and who you are trying to kill, is the DM. The DM is not your philosophical enemy, he is your actual and pragmatic enemy. In game terms and during combat in any case. And my larger point is to always know your real enemy, and not your apparent one. Because often they are not the same thing.So, I just wanted to clear that up in case it was being misunderstood.The enemy is not the DM, the DM is the enemy.As far as combat goes anyway.</blockquote>
