It's easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Monsters Know What They're Doing\u003c\/i\u003e, Keith Ammann lightens the DM's burden by helping you understand your monsters' abilities and develop battle plans before your D\u0026amp;D game session begins.
