Let them know that Rogues are underpowered and will get their party killed.  Replace them with a cheap bag of tricks which you hand out to the party by a grizzled vet who gives the item to the party to take on that dungeon.Oh yeah, if you or any of your players or anyone wants my tac notes, just have them email me at <a href="mailto:wokuma@lava.net">wokuma@lava.net</a>.You can give xp for roleplaying.  Tell if they don't take rogues give them xp let them expand their horizon, try a druid or a wizard or a sorc or cleric.  Incentives sometimes works.Make them take Profession:  Tactician so that you can coach them or other players can, and if anyone dies make them start out one level lower than the highest level.  Talk to your cleric and ask him to start healing in combat.  And point out that they can retreat and come back another day if they are low on spells.Have a post combat tactical session.And when you have a TPK, add the PC's stuff to the treasure pile.</blockquote>
