[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5663327, member: 4892"] Yes. Critical portion bolded above. None. That's why during my later run of 3.5 I looked for ways to solve this unacceptable problem in ways that satisfied everyone invilved in my game. I did not find a satisfactory method [I]for us[/I]. The method that you used to avoid the issue and others used to fix it could be satisfactory to your preferences while being completely unsatsfactory for ours. A well-designed game will accomodate many styles of play. I can't really speak directly to the nova problem as I never encountered it, but I can sympathize with those who did encounter it. I believe I avoided this issue because my friends bought into the same style of play as I do and because I specifically addressed the issue when people started posting threads about the issue in the mid-life of 3.x. My players and I agreed that we did not want that to occur in our game. Not every group has that kind of open understanding. "I wasn't [I]literally[/I] calling your style narrow." Yeah, uh huh. When one throws out generalities it is bad form to then claim "I wasn't talking about you." I think many site-based sandboxers might disagree. It was so rare in my campaigns that I might as well say it never happened. To quote a silly/stupid/funny movie: "And then?" What if your players don't care that she was killed? I found that there really wasn't anything the wizard needed to buy. And usually when item creation occurred in my campaigns it was the party chipping in on buffing spells and healing. I don't think it was abused in my campaigns, but I could see how it could become an issue if it were abused. You game with Pavlov's Dog? Cool. :) I don't think you'd be able to "train" someone who wanted to abuse nova/rest/repeat if they were determined to do so. Especially if the entire group is determined to do so. Agreed.
