[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7405620, member: 996"] I know the old adage about assuming malice when incompetence would also serve, but I don't believe anyone could have returned Rope Trick to 2nd level, or re-written Tiny Hut they way they did, and not /intend/ that a party with an old-school-CaW player running a wizard wouldn't, as a matter of course, choose to have very short 'days' whenever it was remotely workable within the scenario, with the inevitable impact on class & encounter balance - as a 'reward for skilled play,' of course. High enough level to have been casting Rope Trick a while. The group I gamed the most with in the 3.x era never had a problem with a wizard abusing Haste & quickened spell or polymorph or a natural-spell abusing druid. Because no one ever played a wizard or druid, at all. Not because no one would've wanted to (druid & magic-user were my favorite classes to play back in the day), but because it was just not worth it to push the campaign over that particular precipice. I had no idea the Capn was a super-hero Capn, not a sea/military Capn, or that you've been omitting "the Merciless" from your sig all this time.... ;) [/QUOTE]
