Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zerovoid" data-source="post: 77604" data-attributes="member: 283">By 40' circle, I meant a 40' radius circle.  I think of radius as being the more basic way to describe a circle.I guess the balance is largely dependant on how often the spell can be cast.  In this case, the PC's were in a forest in the winter time, so I ruled that there were plenty of small plants, grasses buried beneath the snow, and trees.  Since it was the PC's going up against Belak again, and the PC's had a druid, I knew it was going to be an entangle-fest going in.  I just forgot how tedius that spell can be.I thought about just banning it, but since it is definately a low level druid's big gun, I wouldn't want to do that.  Even if there are no balance issues, the spell just seemed to detract from the game.  There was alot of other wackiness involved in this combat also.  Silence had been cast on the party's fighter, so that he could grapple the enemy caster.  The party's bard was trapped next to him in the entangle, and the player spent most of the combat staring blankly at the wall, and occasionally rolling a d20 to see if he could escape.I'm curious that people think the necessity for vegetation is such a limitation.  I would say that about 1/4 - 1/3 of encounters in games that I have played or run happen in the outdoors, since parties usually get attacked a lot while traveling.</blockquote>
