Yea, throwing a new mechanic at players during something conclusive seems like an I Wanna Be The Guy kinda masocore move.
I mean it can go be super successful (or successfully unsuccessful) but the potential for bitterness about getting completely blindsided seems too high to me.
Thank you for teaching me the word "masocore".
And everything you say is why I don't do it.
I love I Wanna Be The Guy and I love a DM that plays dirty and blindsides the players. If I die I die and I'll just make a new character. I'm a good loser.
