Question:
Should a DM ever be drastically biased towards a party?
Explanation:
I'm starting a campaign, and I wonder if, when my players inevitably do something retarded, I should let them get themselves killed. Or if I should play some divine intervention to roll some low combat scores on the gribblies, and let the PC's hit a lil more... Or something. It's a difficult question because, although it is important that the PCs don't feel like the game world isn't that enjoyable due to the knowlege that the DM will step in, it's also no fun when you're dead.
Discuss please... I haven't a clue.
