[QUOTE="PrinceZane, post: 2077774, member: 24195"] My players are very well minded with the various npcs in the MM and such and it has caused a little chaos at times. On 2 separate occations we've argued over aspects and I ruled their favor just to stop the argument, however, I'm thinking that might've been the wrong thing to do. The first situation was the party coming across a mummy, and the wizard said, "Wait, mummies are undead and have certain things they're immune to." I think anyone that has come across undead a few times would figure this out, but it was their first undead encounter. Their argument was that "everyone" knows undead are immune to poinsons, etc. The second time was during a dragon battle. They came across a red dragon and instantly started throwing their weaker cold spells instead of high powered fireballs and such. I asked if that is indeed what they would do and they said yes, because dragons are so widely known in the world that everyone knows the basic things to do in an encounter, etc. We almost settled on a check of some kind to do so, but I couldn't think of an appropriate DC so I just let it go. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
