[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2640408, member: 22250"] In the campaign I GM for the sorcerer has Extend Spell, and every night before sleep the PC casts her highest slot as an Extended Mage Armor. This is so common that when the Player mentions- "I had a 4th level slot open last night, could I have-?" I say- "oh, ya, no problem," without any hesitation. As far as the PCs getting away with something like this- they can and have done things like this to the villians in my campaigns. I have no objection, if the Players want a climax free ending then its okay. To me part of the reason for gaming is to have fun and cool scenes where the GM shows off some tactic or other he thought of in the shower is just not my idea of fun. To me its more interesting to have a vision of that scene- the PC wakes in a sweat. Cool scene shown and warning given. As was previously implied- I would place very little interest in character development after that because of the GMs open disregard for story (and character development) over cool scene. (In truth I really like the players to have a firm grasp of their characters, and if they think they can be murdered off by a perfect assassination then they will have little interest in keeping that firm character grasp in mind while they play. Which will result in characters all being the same and uninteresting.) [/QUOTE]
