In fact, 3.x very much encourages it, imo. I have often found that once in a blue moon if you let your players go with truly egregious stats (read, egregiously high, not low)...that they'll get a lot of it out of their system. They'll also discover that I wildly alter encounters in order to keep them challenging for the players. I disregard the ECL, LA, CR system and pretty much just assign xp as I feel necessary. Also, if I think the players can handle it, I'll try to throw just "enough" at them to keep them on the edge, but not TPK. I don't mind fudging some die rolls if I felt I overdid, or change the encounter some. But I avoid blatant deus ex machina (no last minute, surprise NPC calvary charge). But, if my players do something silly, ill thought out, poorly prepared or just stupid...I'll kill 'em in a heartbeat.</blockquote>
