[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 7379935, member: 6921763"] A DM that chooses 8 pixies when the druid casts Conjure Woodland Beings has no one to blame but him or herself if it "breaks" the narrative. Just don't pick pixies, right? Or better yet, do let it be pixies in a situation where it would be cool. Then... you as DM decide if that would be fun for the table to repeat... if not, Blink Dogs it is! I'm sure you can figure out a way to foil the Moon Druid Dire Wolf if that trick is being overused. For example, the second or third time it happens, bad guy might have Cloak of Woodlands and lead Moon Druid Dire Wolf into ambush where he gets whacked a few times, perhaps even knocked out, by the bad guy's friends before rest of party can catch up. Or bad guy had secretly cast Haste upon herself during parley before running. Or bad guy is actually 15th level monk. Or bad guy has speed of 55ft, just because the DM says so. Use sparingly. Let the PCs feel heroic most of the time. Agreed. But if a player is spamming the "auto-win" tricks, they might actually have different goals. Speak to them in private if it is ruining the fun for all at the table - maybe it isn't the table for them. [/QUOTE]
