[QUOTE="dave_o, post: 309579, member: 2933"] [b]What is this...this magic you speak of?[/b] Admittedly, I know as much about spells in DnD as Anna Nicole Smith about creating quality television, but it seems to me most people are forgetting the traditional, mundane tactics (albiet a bit magically enhanced) for wild, manicial plans. While this makes for a cool game, it's akin to that scene in Indy: Temple of Doom where he calmly shoots the crazy swordsman. Namely, pretty things die easily. Some thoughts to consider: *As I recall, there's an Earth to Mud, Stone or Mud, or some other such spell (it's sad how little I know about DnD magic). Given the fact that hundreds of people, and even worse, stocked for war weigh just a bit, a well placed Earth to Mud sort of spell could be very decisive. Especially after a well placed area effect spell. *With the considerable amount of manpower available, digging massive amounts of pitfalls isn't a very difficult task. Aided by magical Darkness, and such, skilled men could dig thousands of pitfalls throughout the field of battle. There could even be magically enchanted against detection. Suddenly, most of the force is moving very, very slowly and carefully. And suddenly, you've got all manner of hell raining upon them. *Fashionable Hats. [/QUOTE]
