[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5016297, member: 80487"] Did the players forget? Did they know in the first place? On what basis are [b]they[/b] choosing to risk such such an encounter, and how to respond in the event? If you, the DM, really don't know your own creation, then how do the players? "I know this dungeon like the back of my -- say, when did I get that freckle?" But seriously, folks, the great thing about getting old and overdrawn in the memory bank is the opportunities for surprise and discovery. If you're playing with friends, then I think you should be able to work it out. "Oh, yeah -- you would have noticed that heavy blaster cupola when you first looked. Belay that, then!" Don't ask me a loaded rhetorical question like that, daring me to knock some chip off your shoulder. It's your game, and I'm not in it! I'll bet your friends will respond better if you handle the situation with some maturity and common sense, too. If you're playing with a pack of rabid rules lawyers, then ... I'm sorry. But it's not even in my power to "fudge" that choice for you! [/QUOTE]
