[QUOTE="azmodean, post: 2292128, member: 26590"] I've always had problems with this particular sentiment. I think the players should be the ones taking such things into consideration. If a party is specialized toward fighting creatures with discernable anatomies (crit buffing, sneak attacks, etc...) they should understand that they will have problems with encounters with non-crittable creatures and plan accordingly, with equipment and/or tactics which will help them in that area. I have never understood the mindset that says that given a party with a set of arbitrarily chosen abilities, it is the DM's responsibility to ensure that the encounters aren't too hard. IMO it is the very core conept of a rpg that the characters will need to interact with their environment and change themselves in order to overcome challenges as opposed to the opposite happening.
