[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 279642, member: 1279"] Two completely different questions . . . looking for opins. 1) Protection from Evil gives a +2 bonus to AC, some saves, and protects from Charms, Dominate Person, and (drum roll, please), ALL summoned creatures. Hence the possible problem, as a player in my campaign wants to play a specialized sorcerer -- no schools but Conjuration and Divination. And I expect many of his enemies will have Protection from Evil down the line, possibly as a part of their permanent magic items. I know this is a stupid question, but do you think it'd be "unbalanced" to change the Prot. from Evil. description such that it didn't protect the target from summoned creatures? I mean, hell, it's a 1st level spell. An alternative might be to say that it only works if the target doesn't move from his original space (which is theoretically a little circle that gets traced around him, during that partial action in which the spell is cast . . . yeah, that makes a lot of sense). ----------------- 2) The duration of Charm Monster is 1 day/level. And the bard in my group is already starting to drool. I'm wondering what the experience of other DMs has been re this spell . . . broken, or no, at that duration? I have this vision of him walking around with a dozen or so Purple Worms as semi-permanent buddies. TIA! [/QUOTE]
