Is it fair to cast save-or-suck spells on the players?

[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7149764, member: 6688277"] GM, you cannot bash save-vs-suck spells and then throw an example about an inexperienced DM (mid 20's is still young). Sorry but I feel that this is just disingenuous to the debate. Exactly! You didn't think this should have been mentioned in your initial post? You gave readers the impression that you surmised the situation was hopeless because none of your teammates were spellcasters and so made the conscious decision to abscond the session after a wait of 15 minutes. How did you expect readers to react? It would have been nice if GM had put everything in context in his first post (such as the age of the DM and that he'd asked the DM if there was a way out for him from the imprisonment that evening). The information was spilled out in drips and drabs after his initial post which was used to make a case against save-vs-suck spells based on a poor example. Accusations are easily thrown when pertinent information is withheld. There is absolutely no reason to white-knight this! Sorry @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=67338"]GMforPowergamers[/URL][/U][/B][/I] but I'm calling you out on this as Sir @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=284"]Caliban[/URL][/U][/B][/I] of Enworld is repeatedly summoning his steed and charging in with Huma's freakin' dragonlance. :angel: Someone has got to stop that paladin! ;) [/QUOTE]
