Paranoia.

It's one of the DM's greatest tools. Nothing can make the players more nervous than an unexplained die roll or question. particularly asking for a player's armorclass or save bonus will cause a frantic scramble to cover every possible avenue of danger. There is just so much scrambling it's almost more effective NOT to have anything prepared when you ask, so that the players can continue to freak out while you just sit there chuckling to yourself.

But don't let the players know that.
