[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8120683, member: 2629"] … and you came here to brag? You're relishing in this kill. Relishing in a kill is not Neutral, and arbitrarily selecting to make an encounter overpoweringly hard is not lawful. You said you decided to make the elf a CR 5 - and you pretty clearly seem to have done it when you knew there was a fight coming. This is little different than you just having an archmage pop in and PW: Kill a PC. "Hey, look everybody, I got to kill the Lawful Stupid paladin. Ha, ha! I'm the DM and can set him up for an overwhelming challenge - so I just put in a monster that was guaranteed to kill him! And I even got him to decide to start the fight! These players will never beat me!" D&D is an RPG, a role playing game. Characters play a role in a story. Setting up the PC to have their story end for no good reason is counterproductive. [/QUOTE]
