I make sure we employ a scout. I plan spell strategy carefully. If I were playing a DM that tried to disallow my tactics from working the vast majority of the time, we wouldn't be playing together very long. A DM should respect player tactics. I understand a DM using counter-tactics now and again, but you can't justify that all the time. Smart tactical play should not be something a DM overlooks.Walking around invisible all the time is anything but suicide. Just because some DM might decide to toss in an occasional challenge doesn't mean walking around invisible isn't going to be advantageous 90% or more of the time. A wizard that can't escape a web is a pretty poor wizard and a party that can't fight off a big group of spiders a pretty weak party. Of course, these must have been special spiders if a party that can cast wall of stone or stone shape had to run.Most of the DMs that I've run with had to increase encounters to such a level that it was nearly impossible to achieve victory against a party with me in it as a caster. Usually by creating magic items, special abilities, or unique creatures far outside the rules. I don't mind it because I like a good challenge. Though sometimes having a character die to an impossible challenge is pretty annoying. Then again achieving victory against seemingly impossible odds and tactics feels great.</blockquote>
