Hints and Tips

1. Combat isn't the only solution.

2. Remember that casting a spell or doing certain other things can provoke attacks of opportunity if you are within melee range of an enemy. I'll tell you if you're in danger of this happening.

3. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

4. Chances are good, especially in the early part of the game, you can't win all the battles.

5. "You can't outrun Death forever. But you can make the b*****d work for it."

6. I am a very laid-back DM, but that doesn't mean I don't have my moments of cruelty. Picking on the wounded and such. Play well to avoid disapointments.

7. Yes, tip 1-4 are meant to contrict the advice and support given in tip 5. But trust in whichever you think best.
