But if done blatantly, and in a way that sort of cheapens the characters, or the strategies of the players, then it's bad.AKA you make a challenge that you plan to capture the PCs with. Like a horde of warriors you hope will scare them into submission... Instead, however, they decide to fight. Low and behold they beat your warriors through crafty thinking, and well done tactics... Maybe only by a small margin, but they still win. Now your players are quite proud of themselves.But then you introduce your railroad factor of more guards, extra hitpoints, anything...In my eyes, thats akin to say loosing all your pieces in checkers and suddenly declaring that you win simply because you've changed the rules, and now the person who looses all his pieces first wins...</blockquote>
