[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 434781, member: 114"] I was tempted to make it a poll, but resisted the temptation. There is a discussion over in Wulf's storyhour about this tactic. (and if you haven't read it, go and read it all RIGHT NOW... I'll wait...) Back now? It clearly isn't much of a problem until character levels are high enough that they can do this regularly (12th+ say?), but at those levels is it a problem? What impact would you expect it to have on a game world where one group of people can turn up with all their buff spells running while the others are just waking up from their sleep? How many of you (as PC's) have used this tactic, and what do you think of it? How many of you (as DM's) have seen this tactic used by PCs (or used this tactic against PCs) and what do you think of it? My campaign is about 7th-10th level at the moment, and so this hasn't been an issue; I'm deciding whether to agree a house rule or two before that time to limit this tactic (as it seems to have the potential to be particularly "abusive"). Having said that, someone playing in a high level game (KidC) thinks it is not a problem. She suggested a broader discussion outside of the storyhour board so here I am. Thoughts and opinions please? (I've deliberately avoided houserule discussions here, but I'd be interested in any core-rules restrictions on this practice. Obviously there are defensive measures available to clerics (hallow or forbiddance tied to dimensional anchor), what about for arcane casters?) Cheers [/QUOTE]
