    A mindless beast, like a wolf that’s known for stalking it’s prey and going for a weak one to pull it away from it’s group?

      And would almost certainly do anything in its power (especially running away from the creature three times its height and aware of them enough to fight back and summoning lightning from their pointy stick) to avoid getting hurt, because there are no wolves afraid of being called chicken because those who keep fighting for stupid reasons die of sepsis?

        Wolves have an intelligence of 3, few beasts “more mindless” would be aggressive enough to face tank the party.

        I guess all I’m really saying is that there really isn’t that much in the game that should stand and deliver against the closest enemy until it dies

          OK, when I said “beast” I should really have said “monster”, because things like oozes, constructs, and undead are often stupid enough to do just that

            It was clear what you meant, but you left an opportunity for someone to be technically correct and they jumped all over it

            Yeah, fair enough; seems we’re saying the same thing then. I really got the impression from the initial comment that only uniquely smart things would use tactics. I can see how that might have been meant more broadly
