[QUOTE="Bleys Icefalcon, post: 6736540, member: 6670542"] OK. As a DM. If a rule, written in a book, and it doesn't pass the "makes sense/logical" step in my mind, I modify it so it does or I remove that skill/spell/ability completely. Stoneskin, as written in 1st and 2nd Edition rules was such a rediculously powerful spell that there was ZERO fear at higher levels at wading into combat as each of the characters had multiple "skins". Just to make combat at least come with a modicrum of risk we - as a group - had no choice but to dramatically change the spell to just being an increase in AC. If a skill that a Druid has can so over-balance it's chance of survival, as opposed to the rest of the party's inherent, natural abilities, it's over-powered. If I may ask, what's your dog in this fight? Was it your Druid that got disintegrated? Was it inter-party conflict and another player targetted the Druid? Was it a nasty baddie wizard NPC in a dungeon the party encountered? A Trap? A petty killer DM? [/QUOTE]
