The characters will be sent with knowledge that they will be fighting a carrion crawler and will be briefed on its details and will be prepared with a small quantity of at-cost potions of remove paralysis but at level 2 will not be able to actually cast the spell themselves. Am I setting the stage for a "bad thing" here?

I've had a number of games wrecked by everyone trying out their new "concept" without a though to how completely weak and useless the character tends to be at very low levels.
