[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6522593, member: 15700"] this sounds like the HotDQ encounter (we encountered the same thing, and my monk went after them ;) ). One thing to remember is you did not make a mistake by not telling him or her it could be fatal. You only have to describe what the PC sees and that's it. Most likely their PCs have never encountered an ettercap before, so they would have no idea what they were facing. You are a referee; it's not your job to coddle or otherwise give players more info than their PCs would have just to cater to their bad decisions. The only mistake I can see is that you mixed up some of the rules. Happens to everyone. But I don't think you shoulder all of the blame totally. [/QUOTE]
