(slight tangent... but this is why I love the strategic element of the game. Wiz/Clr using divinations or rogues/rangers doing recon and scouting to get a better idea of what to prepare and come up with a "plan" and then implementing that plan and crushing the foe..... that's always a great time. It's when PCs can do that, without ANY pre-knowledge or effort, that it becomes a problem.)</li> </ul><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"></li> </ul></blockquote>
