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.
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.

Thank you for teaching me the word “masocore”.
And everything you say is why I don’t do it.
