And it would explain why different people on this board have very different play experiences with 3.5.I also have the hypothesis that many gamers that came up through 1st and 2nd edition stuck with their "old ways" of designing encounters.I agree that these kind of fights can be fun, but IME they have a bad effect on the game overall. They force the dreaded 15 min adventurers day, they necessitate well-built characters, and they foster a DM vs players atmosphere. Personally I prefer adventure design that leaves place for quirky PCs, inefficient strategies chosen for RP reasons, and many encounters between rests.</blockquote>
