It’s also fun for us when a PC busts out a new powerful ability and it completely foils my baddies.  I feign great disappointment and they get an upper hand in the fight or challenge and perhaps even an easy win.  And we laugh and then I come up with more dastardly challenges for them after I cry myself to sleep later that night.</blockquote>
