The DM always gets to choose how much recon info the enemy has, and how smart they are. Say the DM sets up a battle with a bunch of goblins, but accidentally set their AC just a little too high. Oops. Well, that's a great opportunity for the dumb little goblins to end up in a formation where they are particularly vulnerable to a AoE spell.Another area that was big on fudging in earlier editions was caches of healing potion. Was that last encounter a bit harder than planned? Just throw a couple extra potions in the treasure pile, and you're good to go. This is less meaningful in 5e, however.</blockquote>
