[QUOTE="Paragon Kobold, post: 1738470, member: 21160"] Seems rather strange. Entangle and the like are tactical spells, that can be quite devastating at times, but they don't really do that much by themselves. Their most common use as I have seen it is against large groups of enemies, enabling the group to fight just a few at a time. They are also extremely useful for covering retreats so that the characters can escape when they are in over their heads. Perhaps the most annoying use, (and I speak now as a GM) is to prevent enemies from escaping when defeated. Anyway, they are all spells that require some thought to use effectively. Not a lot of thought mind you but more than the simple 'point and do damage' spells. For me, using non-damaging spells to defeat your enemies or otherwise succeed simply feels a lot more satisfying than to just pummeling them into submission. Therefore these are probably the last spells I would ban. [/QUOTE]
