Player: “Ok, I’m going to move 30 here and use my sneak attack on the last- oh wait, I can’t, nevermind.”
Me: “Wait, why?”
Player: “He’s out of range by 5ft, I have disadvantage so no sneak attack.”
Me: “Bro just roll sneak attack, he’s the last goblin. We have cooler shit to get to this session.”
Player: “So, advantage?”
Me: “Yes advantage. Please don’t make me play one more round as this 7HP cannon fodder.”
Just the other day, one of my players told me that he actually enjoys the way I play out combat more than most of his other DMs, because I play down to the last enemy. Turns out he LOVES getting to take down the very last guy, even if it’s not specifically his character doing it. Goes to show how different everybody is.
