One of the things that separates beginner Roleplayers from veterans (aside from vets checking the ceiling first when they enter rooms) is tactics.
I liked to play like the Player Character version of Tucker's Kobolds. Some legitimate tactics and strategy can devastate opponents in a game. Unfortunately most groups are chaotic messes when it comes to organizing combat--even when they evolve beyond "Kick in the Door" playing.
