[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 301109, member: 259"] Well, I've used it twice: -Once, a villain was wanting to sacrifice a town to fuel a spell, and the PCs were meddling. He wasn't confident about taking them on in a fair fight, so he crept outside the inn they were staying in and sent them each a nightmare containing a Suggestion that they leave town right away. The nightmares were similar: each PC was in some quiet location with someone close to them who had died, and it started very peacefully; however, as the dream went on, the dead person began warning them that they were in great danger, and that they should leave soon before the Black River broke over them and drowned the dry dry earth -- language similar to prophecies they'd encountered earlier in the adventure. PCs who made their saving throws realized that the dead person was an impersonation, and was evil, and the dead person would hiss and attack them. Those who failed woke up with an overwhelming dread and a desire to leave town ASAP. -I've used it one other time: a demon with a grudge against the party realized that one of them had been infected with lycanthropy. He followed them, and on the night of the full moon, sent a dream to the PC he hated the most (who wasn't infected, BTW) in which she killed several people in the inn they were staying at. When she woke up, those people had been savagely murdered. (I was actually feeling nice, and made the real infected PC just wander through the woods killing rabbits & such). mmadsen, I like the idea of the distance-spell feat; that sounds very cool.
