I throw out the bad stuff and do what I can to salvage the mess. Echo comes to mind. What do you do when the encounter is incorrectly tiered? When the actual...
... IMHO, If the PC's are stupid or willfully stupid, then dying is part of the price of learning. If it's just a string of bad luck on the PC's part, then I...
