[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2105979, member: 12037"] I was going to use [i]web[/i] on my PCs (Brb6, Sorc5/Rog1, Rog6, Rang6, Favored Soul 5) in a soon to be fight against a Hobgoblin Hexblade 5, Sorcerer 4, and mooks, but then I realized that while it might not lead to a TPK, there would be several casualties more than if the enemy Sorcerer was using [i]scorching ray[/i], especially with the Hexex being thrown around (-2 strength checks).
