[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus@Work, post: 1089151, member: 7828"] I've encountered such a mentality from many DMs and I've been guilty of it myself in my distant past. Thankfully, I'm with a really good group now, but in my college days I'd figure out what kind of monster I didn't want to face and make that my favored enemy. I think its important to explain to the player that there are over a dozen different monster types. Given that you're "supposed" to level once every 14 encounters, you're only talking about ~20 - 25 encounters during the course of an entire campaign that meets the specified type. But yeah. Toss in some undead treants or something. Maybe skeletons that are animated by some kind of creepy vine. Whatever. If you had a fighter with spiked chain as a weapon you'd toss in a couple of spiked chains in as treasure now and again. No harm in upping the plant quota. In the "alphabetical order" thread some guy put in stats for a violent fungus with the fiendish template thrown on. That'd be a nice encounter for when the party was traveling. [/QUOTE]
