[QUOTE="StalkingBlue, post: 398098, member: 645"] Hi thulsa, good to hear your side of things as well. Much preferable to hearing only one person's view. Like the overwhelming majority of posters on these boards (and probably in this thread), I am a GM. Frankly, up to your post, I was wondering whether Omraxes's post was a troll (a deliberately untrue post aimed at tempting people into heated discussions). I can't see anything unbalancing in the spells Omraxes tells us you are banning. Also, though I have not yet run RToEE, I know the module well and I am preparing to run it. I don't see how a party with only mundane gear is supposed to survive, let alone gain ground in the later parts of that module - unless of course you adapt the opponents' power levels accordingly. You say that you do. However, as a number of posters have already mentioned, your body count in itself is a strong indication that something is out of balance here. If your players have trouble coming to grips with the fact that not all opponents they encounter are there to be killed and looted right now, well, then perhaps give them a hint or two rather than letting them run suicidal attacks over and over. Perhaps if you state your reasons for banning individual spells, I'll be able to understand better. From your initial post, I'm afraid I don't follow. [/QUOTE]
