Dealing with Spike Growth

[Darklone]

One of my chars once climbed up the walls ... spidey, mang.

I don't know if I'm stating the obvious since no one's brought it up but, the environment has to be "ground covered vegitation" to even work.

Down in the dungeon, on a cobblestone street, on the side of a mountain, underwater, on a boat, in the air, in a bubble bath, elemental plane of _____, etc. Not gonna happen. So stop being overly fond of making your encounters in the forest.

Don't let the bad guys get fooled into chasing the Ranger. In fact, have some bad guys fool the Ranger into chasing them and then use the spike trick against the Ranger!

Actually the spell reads in works in any outside environment; Bare ground can be used as easily as vegatation covered areas. It doesn't work on bare stone.

There were lots of godo ideas here, thanks guys and gals!

Yeah, but my bathomancer is totally unbalancing the game with the spell Bubble Growth. Frankly, I'm halfway to my wit's end.

BUT!.... "Typically, Spike Growth can be cast in any outdoor setting except open water, ice, heavy snow, sandy desert, or bare stone"

What a broken class!

someone needs to burst his...oh nevermind.


it reminds me of those bubble spells in the FR material that Elminster likes to use.

Jumping works. Any critter can jump; lots of critters can jump far.
