It is called experienced and/or Knowledgeable PCs. If you have some form of bardic knowledge, or have someone who has enough sense to take some ranks in Knowledge (Planes) then they HAVE reason to know what babau can do.  Their capabilities are hardly a secret, they are pretty common in tanar'ri heirarchies. There are also spells that can precisely ID foes' capabilities and weaknesses. Most of these spells fit in wands. There are also more than enough creatures in 3e than are either immune to certain weapons or can destroy them that it is foolish to not carry backup weapons. PCs' failure to bother to try to ID their foes and figure out what they do early in the engagement and failure to plan properly is not a reason to claim that the babau's CR is too low. Personally I think CR7 for the babau might be a step too low but a 10th lvl party has no excuse for getting their tails kicked by only 2 of them. That is simply bad tactics and a failure to plan for potential adverse conditions. Babau simply aren't nearly that tough. Tzarevitch</blockquote>
