I honestly think it is the DMs resposnibility to do so as the situation fits. This notion that once I've created a monster or encounter, it is set in stone is disconcerting to say the least. My job is to help faciliate the narrative and the enjoyment of my players and me. Letting a monster TPK the party or be anti-climatic just because math errors happen is, in my opinion, a failure to do my job as a DM.For that matter, I have fudged HP to allow a player to shine if they need to. Sometimes real life stuff creeps into game play, players are going through stuff, or they are down for whatever reason, or the game has just been unmericiful to the player this session. When it's appropriate, allowing them to get a killing blow at a crucial point, by on the fly adjusting HP of a monster, is huge. It lets them have their "badass moment" and helps raise the enjoyment for them. I'd consider that a part of DMing as well.</blockquote>
