To soothe your paladin... :p There were dragons, dragons, dragons in the air. There were wyverns, wyverns, wyverns in the woods. There were orcs, orcs, orcs everywhere. And they killed our party for we were lawful good.

We adapted and modified the Shadowrun spell creation rules. Perhaps this will work for you as well.

In our game all caster arcane or divine start with spells at first level. The difference is that arcane casters use slots which "recharge" after a time when used, whereas, divine casters start with a number of points that if used are lost and have to be regained through role playing. With the...

A greed filled being who has transformed himself into living gold, for, pure gold never tarnishes or rusts.

You may also want to consider which weapons the players are using. Swinging a great sword for example, in a confined space is somewhat problematical.

A small insect placed inside the ear or nose that crawls around the caster's skull causing a total lack of concentration due to the discomfort. It can be removed with a cure spell or applying pheromones to draw it out.

Magicians. I attribute this to most players having grown up with Harry Potter.

For your players the "little people" may be more important. The halfling mage in our game tends to ignore the big players, her best friend in the city is Fritzroy the Falconer who is in charge of pest control. The two of them have a great time atop the city spires eating rabbit and pigeon pie.

A half elf rogue, with high charisma and seduction. She says "You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting."

I allow foes to do anything the characters can do.

Threads like this are the reason why the NPC jester in game is named Zardnaar. :p

For my players a campaign begins when they realize what the "problem" is and ends when they solve or fail at ending it.
