[QUOTE="JDRay, post: 220276, member: 2344"] You think [I]Entangle[/I] is bad, wait until they find [I]Briar Web[/I], which is essentially [I]Entangle[/I] that does damage. It's a second level spell, at least for Rangers. In a prime example of role playing, our party was camped for the night when we were surprised by some baddies that had been pursuing us. Nightwatch failed their Listen check, and the bad guys were on us in an instant. The Cleric, startled awake, was arrogant enough to think he could solve the problem immediately. The conversation went something like this: DM: "You wake up. There's a [bad guy] about five feet from you, and he's about to kill you." Player: "Briar Web!!!" DM: "Where do you center it?" Player: "Right on HIM!!!" Rest of Party: "What?!?!?!?!" Player: "Yes. Right on him. It's got a forty foot radius! He'll never get out!" DM: "Okay, if that's the way you want it." Rest of Party: "Crap." Player: "What?" DM: "He's five feet from you." Player: "So?" DM: "You're in the area of effect. You're all entangled, and take... um... four for you, six for you, five for you, and one for you... points of damage." Player: "Crap" DM: "Oh, yeah. And the [bad guy] makes his save. He's outta here." Basically, we all laid there for the duration of the spell, trying not to move so we didn't take any damage. We were all pretty hurt to start out with, and this only made it worse. Could've died. [/QUOTE]
