or...PG 321 of the Monster Manual. Index is your friend...

Wait...."DM specified that there will be no PvP, but basically his Character is a Paladin" That's the first red flag to me, the DM is playing a character....ugh. These are the sort of things that go wrong when the DM plays a character in his own game. At this point what's done is done, I...

Honestly, I could care less. I see it no different than a monk stunning fisting every caster mob he sees, a wizard locking things down every fight. I would let him have his fun and in my encounters I would start mixing in casters with spells like Gaseous form or misty step. Monsters like...

You all act like this is some game breaking horrible thing that the player has come up with. In a fantasy game full of classes with truly powerful spells, this wouldn't even be a blip on my radar. He could have just taken the Wand of Paralyze which is a rare item instead of the 2 uncommon...

I use investigation much like Minigiant. Let's say the players perceive a small desk in the room then they say they want to search the desk. Let's say in the situation above there is a key stuck to the bottom of a drawer. I don't want to take 15 minutes on every desk or dresser in the game for...
