I literally gave the counter-example of that; the DM rolling opposing skill checks for the gauntlet. If you are ok with one, you should be ok with the other.What low frequency event? The event that you might go down in a game where three quarters of the creatures you encounter are blood thirsty monsters wanting to kill you? The event that, in a game where half the time you are spent fighting monsters to the death, you may die? Don't be silly. A low frequency event in D&D is randomly rolling three 1s in a row on a death save - and - AND - not having one other PC try to help you with a potion, spell, medicine check, or Band-Aid. That is a low frequency event. And it never happens when a DM uses a bit of foresight and proper preparation.</blockquote>
