[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5947890, member: 58416"] 1) For me personally, I -as GM- do not decide the tactics of the enemy. I put myself in the mid of the enemy and do what they would do based upon their own motivations and goals. I also take into consideration the mental abilities of the enemy. I do not make decisions for nthinking zombies as though they were tactical savants. However, an ancient dragon who has survived for thousands of years is going to make use of strategy and tactics; he's going to use his own physical abilities and the terrain of his lair to his advantage. I might create the world, but -once the world is in motion- it continues in a way which is natural for the pieces of the world (as said previously.) 2) I was not limiting myself to D&D with my answers. D&D is not the only rpg available, and I think it's reasonable to say that it's far from the only rpg played by everyone here at Enworld. Though, in the context of D&D, I do not necessarily disagree with your assessment. I do feel that D&D (especially the newer editions) are built in such a way that things such as level, wealth by level, and etc are an assumed part of the game. In contrast, not all rpgs even have levels (or classes for that matter.) [/QUOTE]
