Someone mentioned (above) a section in the DMG 2 dealing with my questions, and, yes, I read it, but it seemed really short, I'll read it again. Upon further reflection, I guess my problem mostly arises when the monsters have high initiative; and I do have the monster's delay, but it seems to spoil their initiative counts, and, as a result, their overall value as opponents, and sometimes I have a hard time justifying (tactically) the monsters just sitting back, waiting to see what the PC's are going to do first; it seems like blocking and congesting the doorway would sometimes be a viable tactic on the monster's part, but like I said, the congestion causes headaches, so I guess I should concern myself more with running efficient encounters and not be so concerned about the monsters' well being. What I'm going to try to do is emphasize all the suggestions above, given that although I've tried these things, i suppose should try to utilize them more.</blockquote>
