[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 237392, member: 1791"] As a DM, I am constantly looking for ways to surprise my Players, and then have them think on their toes to try and overcome it. Nothing super hard, just small things that jolts them back into reality that "No rule is set in stone- " scenario 1: The pCs were cleaning up an abandoned palace. It was used by a necromancer as a place to graft and create weird living undeads (as per "necrmonacy book"). they came into a room where these blobs with tentacles and arms attacked them- easily dispatched. Second room were these undead constructs (flesh golems) with various appendages. they flew out of reach and killed them in 2 rounds.-i forgot the PCs could fly- and so the golems were easy pickens- if no fly- they would have been tough. They found a passage way that led to a secret chamber where these things were created. two of the same monsters guard a tomb, the PCs flew again, but to their surprise, the golems sprouted wings and chased after them... that evoked a blank stare from them for a second..."They sprouted wings... OH SH*T!!" scenario 2: they were infiltrating the fortress of a lord. They did not want to make it obvious so in the night, they climbed to the top of the fort wall and looked over. They sat there and started to pick off the guards with ranged weapons and MM (seeing that the guards only had swords and halberds). Two guards, unarmored, dropped their swords and ran up to the walls. To their disbelief, did not stop at the wall, but ran up the wall and bull rushed them off the other edge...the wall was 40 ft high- and the guards were trolls (no subdual) monk/psychic warr (up the walls feat with speed 100 ft- charge 200 ft) so anyone else have jawdropping stories. Please- no stories of rat Bastard DMs.... [/QUOTE]
