[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8958227, member: 6684958"] I agree this idea would make a good story. But as soon as you say it's "too good", you ruin it. Once something is too good, your saying the character must automatically succeed. So why bother playing through the game. At best both the player and DM might do everything soft and easy: "oh, the..um...two goblins with clubs attack and both miss, um darn". And at worst the player and DM just handwave everything "oh, looks like your character took another 10 damage, so down to -120 hp, but this game is so good we will just ignore that" I do such nightmare stories in my game often...and my game is all ready a nightmare....so when a player does a goal with a beaten and bloody character with three hit points and a sharp rock for a weapon THEY and EVERYONE knows I did my best(or worst as I'm a nightmare DM) to stop that character.
