[QUOTE="amethal, post: 4621111, member: 22784"] Personally, something like this :- DM: The Red Wizard launches into his spell before any of you can react. Fortitude saves from everybody, please. <Glances at notes and sees DC is 31> Elf wizard (ever the optimist): Is it enchantment/charm? DM: What do you think? No! Elf wizard: In that case I got 13. Is that enough? DM (smirks): Afraid not. Dwarf Barbarian: I got 29. DM: What did you roll? Dwarf Barbarian: I rolled a 17. <DM, to self: Crap, DC 31 was too high if Dwarf Barbarian failed a Fort save after rolling a 17; better reduce it to a more sensible level; supposed to be tough so how about DC 25 so Dwarf Barbarian needs a 13> DM: That spell was incredibly hard to resist. All the stories you've heard about how Red Wizards focus all their attention on a couple of schools of magic are clearly true. However, calling on all your inner reserves you somehow manage to reduce its effects. It'll take more than that to faze Dwarf Barbarian! You get the feeling you don't want to let him do that to you too many more times, however .... [/QUOTE]
