[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 5297616, member: 40158"] I mostly agree with you. I still wouldn't have a problem with EVERY intelligent enemy with the means to do so having Anticipate Teleport up at all times, or with EVERY dragon with the ability to do so learning Ray Deflection. That's sort of boring and lame, and eats up resources that might be cool to vary now and then, but as far as versimillitude goes it makes perfect sense (the tactics those spells thwart are too good NOT to have them as routine parts of defense, for those who do not use them in the D&D world won't last long against the kind of enemies they're going to make). Where it gets lame for me is, say, villain after villain with no access to anti-S/B/T magics having some mysterious way to thwart them (including the very lame "he had a scroll of it and he just HAPPENED to use it today...") Now and then is cool, too much is too much. Eventually the DM should just limit the power of the wizard already and provide an in-game reason why S/B/T (for example) doesn't work. This is exactly what I did in my own game back in the day. - Ron ^*^ [/QUOTE]
