Dm Faq?

[Nareau]

I'm sure there are some good ones out there. Does anyone want to recommend one?
Specifically, I'm interested in seeing how other DM's deal with the major turning points in a campaign. Specifically, spells that can totally redefine what is challenging to the characters:
Web
Fly
Raise Dead
Teleport
Scrying
Plane Shift
Wish
etc.

If there isn't already a good FAQ that deals with this subject, I'd like to hear what you all think. What spells/abilities/etc. do you see as "Defining Moments" in character progression? More generally, what kind of world-changing effects do you see these spells having?

what specifically are you askin?

for players: if you cast multiple magic spells that have a duration, dont forget that you have it on.

EX- a sorc in my group had globe of invulnerability on and a dragon with impr inv bit him. the cleric had a disintegrate spell ready for when he sees the dragon. When the dragonbit him, he forgot that he had it activated so the dragon just ate him- the cleric did not get the spell of. The sorc died...

DM: give theplayers some leeway- and dont be a rules freak. if the player does something that is flavorful, but stupid, try to reward it- it makes the game much more fun...

EX- the group encountered a T Rex and was losing. One of them decided to climb a tree and jump on its head. being 20 ft tall, the ftr would have had to climb for 2 rounds and thne make a jump check and balance check- being in full plate- it would have been almost impossible (with 2 sp/ lvl) but I gave him bonuses anyways- needless to say, he did not make the climb check and then was eaten- but you get the idea...
