[QUOTE="Dagger75, post: 545564, member: 539"] If it possible for the DM to cheat. Heres the situation. I have me an Epic Level Blackguard Level 21 and his Demon freind (MM2 CR18 Demon Assassin thing). Well I made the Blackgaurd pretty nasty with his +6 Keen Greatsword. So as my 1 epic feat I took Epic Weapon Focus. Well stupid me for got I have a 21st level Druid with a favorite spell of creeping doom. This was half way throught the game, I never saw the Druid Spelllist I changed the feat to Damage Reduction, bumped up his Con so he qualified for the feat and adjusted his hit points and to hits. Was this wrong? I didn't want the Blackguard to be killed by one stupid spell. Needless to say the parties 1/2 Orc Babarian/Fighter/Orc Blademaster ended up killing the Blackguard in throw down one on one sword fight. No Creeping Doom was ever cast and the Damage reduction made little difference in the fight . Everybody had fun, the party got the sword (part of my plan) and made another enemy to add to there ever growing list. (I don't think my group realizes the bad guys have access to True Rez also :D ) I know the goal is to have fun, we did. The fighter finally got to go toe to toe with another equally matched fighter. The druid was busy with the demon thing. So it all worked out pretty good. But I still feel like I cheated just a bit to keep my bad guy alive a bit longer. [/QUOTE]
