As discussed in another thread, DMs who are out to 'beat' the players can and do cheat by adjusting enemies to the characters' plans and capabilities. Unless the blackgaurd knew this particular party and was prepping against them specificly, changing the character to address one particular ability was in extremely bad form. It would have been all out cheating if it had been done after finding out that the druid was indeed preparing Creeping Doom "just in case it works".Not that that spell would have had to be an instant kill. I don't believe you can materialize the swarm on a person, so boots of levitation, a fiend friend who flys, etc could have avoided the spell too, correct?On the other hand, a epic level blackgaurd should be equiped to defend agaisnt a horde of mooks, and damage reduction is included in that. But if you decided not to include that initially and only added it to make sure a spell wouldn't work... bad, bad form. and yes, possibly cheating if the blackgaurd had already been encountered once in his unaltered form.Kahuna Burger</blockquote>
