[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 1284967, member: 9254"] Some GMs don't really allow PC ambushes. KDoT has the players occasionally hide their plans. I've been there too, only worse. Short story long, Back in a CP2020 campaign the GM would have counters to all our plans, even the insane ones. Finally, we went in carrying everything and the kitchen sink and faked it. Start to finish, we didn't have the slightest ghost of a plan. Went beautifully. Three faked exit attempts to split defenses, releasing squads of hostages at key locations to create distractions for the police, and our decker, who had spent the whole session being little more than a spotter and elevator operator, took over a remote police vehicle for our escape. Some of that's fear, others it's a matter of not thinking. My group tries to stay separated to avoid being hosed by a single fireball but close enough so they can get close for a mass-buff. I've seen fighters that can't stand to be more than 10' behind a fighter and rogues that won't get more than 30' ahead. My players' rogue has a habit of disappearing in scout mode, but [i]Status[/i] lets them know where he is and if he's in trouble. The druid at times would range a mile or so ahead of the rest of the party but with the overwatch of Status and airborne familiars. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't. It helps if the scout is durable enough to endure until help arrives, which is why the party's bard (who is hated by d6s) with less hp than the mage does not scout even though he has the skill to do so.
