[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6260737, member: 22424"] I do like the notion that creatures should operate differently based on their nature as well as just their stats - that an Int 25 dragon and an Int 25 human would think differently. That's a tricky one, because at some point arrogance becomes foolishness, which is of course quite at odds with our supra-genius dragon. One of the things of note in the Carter/Thor conversation is that although the technology was different, that led them to respect the unknown tech, not to be dismissive of it. So, while I agree that a specific BBEG may well have a specific weakness or blind-spot that causes him to be dismissive of PC capabilities, I wouldn't make it at all common - if nothing else, a creature that had such a blind-spot is unlikely to have risen to the point where it would be the BBEG. Some other evil force would probably have swallowed it up first! [/QUOTE]
