[QUOTE="SxyUncleFlxy, post: 8456536, member: 7033168"] It is really interesting to hear in this thread how often DMs are manually adjusting rules during a campaign just to ensure that their vision of how the campaign was supposed to go, continues in that expected manner. I think this is a major problem in DMing and should be strongly avoided. If the PCs find a way to break your expectations by following the rules, learn from it and balance better in future, and reward them for their creative method of solving those problems you introduced at the time that they did. In many ways DND can resemble life; there are challenges in your path, now find a legal way to surpass them. Just because the method found may surpass 10 of your obstacles all at once does not mean it should be stopped, but instead the story should adapt to that new change. Yes, that may take a lot more work, but it also will result in a VERY fun and engaging storyline that no one could have expected and becomes extremely organic and treasured. I really hope the common culture of DMing changes to be less cookie cutter, and I encourage other DMs to be more custom to what the players legally make happen and develop their own story that you all can own together.
