[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 3410979, member: 1115"] I'm no fan of B-S-T. But if the players find a way to use it to full effect, then there are two reasons for it: 1) I (the DM) allowed it to happen. The BBEG is perhaps not the 'real' boss (and the real boss just sits in the back and watches how the PCs act, to learn their tactics, to get rid of his stupid servants, to strike later when some of the PCs spells have expired...). Of course, the session may not be that funny because the players spent some time on preparation. On the other hand, the players can show the full display of their PC's powers, and that may be a funny thing. However, the PCs may learn that their foes are smarter than anticipated. And that may discourage further B-S-T attempts, without negating powers at all. 2) I wasn't aware of all of the PCs powers, items, spells as well as all rules. Then it was my fault, unfunny, but that could happen. But so far, I was lucky. I think B-S-T is not that difficult to handle, however, I'm not happy that the DM of a high-level campaign has to keep an eye on B-S-T... [/QUOTE]
