IMHO it is more dramatic for the player to drop a relatively healthy monster in one shot than to drag out a fight that is a foregone issue for another round but its not a rule in my opinion.A house rule to me is something fairly formal that I would apply consistently and tell the players about. Not an excersise in DM judgement. Now you could accuse me of cheating but I don't care, it my table and my players are happy. By the way I do not inform the players how many hit points a monster has not how many it has remaining so in these cases of fudging they never know.</blockquote>
