There have been a couple of spots where I've scaled it down (usually because there were only a couple of people on that night) and a couple of spots where I've scaled up (when the party's abilities made the trap as-is almost pointless.) It's a nice balancing tool.Exactly. Only a moron would do that -- but for most of the game my players have been cheerfully playing experience-point-crazed Int 8 (or dumber) morons. Which means they're not only setting off every trap they can find, they're shouldering each other aside for the chance to set it off first.Mind you, the latest batch is a little smarter if not necessarily wiser. I think they've decided they'd like to survive the next few hopeless deathtraps, just for variety's sake.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I don't like to think of it as killing them off. It's more a "help them kill themselves off" kind of thing.What can I say, we're old friends and sick sick puppies. 7 characters down, 168 or so backup characters to go...cheers,</blockquote>
