On the other end of the spectrum, you have those who meet an enemy...and immediately throw their weapon to the ground. They admit defeat before even a single blow is exchanged. It doesn't matter if it's an easy win or if it's the hardest battle they will ever face, because hey, maybe things will work out in their favor without them lifting a finger.

It's time to face down the BigBad. Or a {{Mook}}. Or some other major threat. Either way, it's time to fight.
When a character enters battle, they could act in one of two ways.
Some tend to go full LeeroyJenkins, charging into battle and never giving up until the fight is won. Whether they have the advantage or not, they are committed to seeing their enemy fall to their knees using any and all means possible.
