[QUOTE="Baldurs_Underdark, post: 8729744, member: 6880355"] Firstly, I always find it very weird that the BBEG saves his best resources for the last. Strategically, it is often much smarter to deploy your resources earlier. So, in my games, the PCs will probably have some very big encounters first. When successful, they will eventually get to the BBEG who has already spent his resources. The BBEG fight will therefore not be the most dangerous, and a TPK at the BBEG is therefore just really unlikely. In addition, the players in our group would be extremely unhappy with a TPK in the final fight. So, I would fudge the dice a bit if the players are unlucky with the dice. Death is extremely unlikely in the game anyway. The players have enough problems in real life. We just enjoy creating a story together. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but we like it.
