[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9562249, member: 7026617"] The problem with it is it carries over to a lot of, honestly, trash encounters that aren't that interesting. Mind you, they still serve [I]some[/I] purpose because they remind people that their characters really are Big Damn Heroes (which can fail to happen with serious encounters where you're really having to work it for some people), but it also consumes time which doesn't necessarily do those adventure paths any favors in many cases. (My personal opinion is that, even though I'm much more tolerant of modern design than older D&D design, from 3e on most versions of D&D and its offshoots like PF are not really well suited to older style dungeons because the advancement is too swift (this might be somewhat less true with D&D5e because of the way it tries to compress power level, but it was certainly true of 3e and 4e and bother versions of PF.)
