It's been a long time since I didn't at least slightly adjust an encounter on the fly.I think one of the core reasons to put up with all the immense overhead of tabletop gaming over just playing a computer game is that a tabletop campaign is not bound by programing but rather tailored specifically to whatever you are doing by a live "programmer" making real time decisions. I don't really see any value in a good DM being bound by what they prepped before initiative was rolled if they don't want to be.Now if it's an adversarial DM, a DM who uses improvisation as a crutch to never plan anything, or a DM who just makes very poor decisions when changing things on the spot, I understand the concern.</blockquote>
