From experience, player deaths to intelligent creatures are due to miscommunication or lack of communication between players and DM, or players simply choosing their actions poorly. It's not the DM's fault if the players decide to camp in the wilderness after they've been repeatedly warned about the great dangers lurking within. I'm planning on asking my DM to roll a wisdom check for my character anytime I'm away from the table so I don't get caught up in my party's random bouts of amnesia or other shenanigans, although that's neither here nor there.  But yeah, intelligent monster encounters require more out of a DM than encounters with other creatures for the same reason a medusa in previous editions did: You simply can't put a number on how dangerous they are.</blockquote>
