[QUOTE="Crust, post: 3196067, member: 22330"] I didn't vote, as I don't necessarily agree with any of the choices. I think disjunctions are ok only so long as the PCs or the opponent(s) of the PCs have access to the spell and the DM understands the consequences. I think that a DM should consider the repercussions of such a game-altering spell. High-level PCs don't necessarily need to be covered in magical items, and in certain instances could be able to buy or create new items, so the disjunction is only an immediate problem during the encounter in which the spell was used. PCs of the appropriate level should be able to use the spell whenever they choose to. The most recent time I used the spell was when the PCs battled none other than Acererak in his Fortress of Conclusion (part of my githyanki Incursion campaign... long story). During the first round of combat, the demi-lich used disjunction on the PCs, wiping out all spell buffs and threatening all magical items in the party. Roughly 10 minutes later PCs had fewer magical items and no buffs, but they still managed to send Acererak's phylactery plummeting into the Negative, and the demi-lich was disrupted... for a time (I brought him back as an atropal later in the campaign). The last time a PC used it was during [I]Dungeon [/I] #123's "Quicksilver Hourglass" module. The cleric of Mystra (male human paladin 2/spellfire channeler 4/cleric of Mystra 21) used disjunction against the combined forces of the half-fiend cleric (Loviatar in my campaign) and the epic vampire sorcerer. Like a divine edict from Mystra herself, the cleric banished all magic cloaking the foes, and the PCs mopped up. It was a moving moment of divine power. DMs certainly need to prepare for such a spell, whether he/she uses it against PCs or PCs use it against bosses and other foes. [/QUOTE]
