Players start throwing around a sunder or a disarm .... enemies might or might not do the same a session or two later.Same goes for tanglefoot bags. A player of mine started throwing them at my flying half-fiend assassin guy and so far hasn't faced a tanglefoot bag. Thanks for the reminder....****Anyway, its not too bad even at low levels. Diversification of a BBEG is actually a more enjoyable fight for PCs. Higher level lone NPCs go down fast against a party anyway, why not give them a bunch of mooks to match the CR of a low level adventure (since a tanglefoot bag DOES NOT scale to higher levels due to typical classed NPC saves and skill check progressions). To bounce off Menexenus's comment, I also think its totally appropriate to play the villain as written at the time of gaming. However, I never run an adventure on the fly. If I see an obvious stat or tactical flaw that a reasonably intelligent villain could have avoided, I take it. Planning one's adventures is a DM virtue.Its wrong to fudge the dice rolls unless its in the players' benefits (while safely behind your big-ass DM screen of course). C.I.D.</blockquote>
