[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 1113921, member: 994"] Felt so strongly about that ye had ta repeat it thrice, did ya? :D I think we agree on principle, but I'd much rather be affected by a [i]Briar Web[/i] (as a 2nd or 3rd level spell) than [i]Spike Stones[/i]. Against 1 HD opponents the difference is moot, but against PCs of 7th level most would fair [b]FAR[/b] better against a [i]Briar Web[/i] than a [i]Spike Stones[/i]. Even your 6th level Elven Archer would come out way better using it (assuming he had access to a 7th level Druid with the spell)! Not only do you not have to deal with the cover that [i]Briar Web[/i] provides but you can lay those 20' squares of area (all 7! of them) around your biggest threats. At 1d8 per 5' of movement, if they can't [i]Fly[/i], [I]Dimension Door[/I], or [I]Teleport[/I] out of the spell's area, you get to shoot to your absolute heart's content while they dance on the sharp rocks! ;) Anyway, Nail, does that mean you're House Ruling both Entangle and Briar Web? And if so, how? DrSpunj [/QUOTE]
