@Arkandel I'm not saying that you can't have a dungeon crawl with RP elements.
I'm putting forward that a rust monster is a thing that exists to fuck with the players, and expecting this fuckery to be met with 'well, my character might not know how to respond to this!' seems a bit disingenuous.
When used correctly, rust monsters are just part of the puzzle and not necessarily just a party screw. "The thief has reported back that the orcs have tamed a rust monster. We will switch to our leather armor, and those non-magic users who do not have magic melee weapons will be deployed as slingers."

Yeah, now I realize I posted in the wrong thread. Uh, ignore me. If you weren't already.
