That especially made sense in this last encounter, because the BBEG was a high priest of Vecna- you know, the god of secrets and whatnot- so he knew all kinds of things about the PCs (especially the fact that his elven spy, who arrived immediately before the PCs to warn him of their arrival, was actually the PC Warlock in disguise- he played along just long enough to surround the warlock with his minions before starting the battle). He didn't attack the warlock at all (much to the warlock's dismay) until he knew he could take him down in one hit. At that point, taking the tons of damage (since he wasn't even bloodied yet) was worth being able to take down the Warlock.But, yes, I don't want to have to do that all the time.Thanlis brings up a very interesting point, however- this "exploit" will become much less appealing at higher levels, when 15d6 is a much smaller portion of the BBEG's HP than at level 3. (Meanwhile, his encounter powers will continue to be awesome.)Once again, thanks for the input!</blockquote>
