This "defense roll" mechanic is discussed at the bottom of page 25 in the 3.5E DMG.
I hope you offered the players the same option of rolling for defense, because I have to tell you, nothing irks me more than when a DM decides to make things "dynamic" for the npc's and monsters, but not the PC's.

I don't want the Tyranny of Fun to become one of PF RPG's design principles. That's 4e's province, and I'd happily leave it that way.
