[QUOTE="Liquidsabre, post: 1642897, member: 15635"] I agree wholeheartedly on this point. Your player should be rewarded for taking a non-offense spell (plus being a Sorcerer to boot!) as their first 8th level spell. What this means is that the PC is less interested in just blasting things with their highest level spells and instead wishes to track down enemies/villains and plot-points in your campaign. You should consider this spell selection a compliment I would think as it allows the PCs to delve even deeper into the mire that is the myriad of plot-threads working behind the scenes that the PCs will inevitably bumble into and quickly get over their heads. USe it to your advantage as bes tas you can, the focal point for major plot-threads are important enough (and powerful enough) that they will have such defenses invariably up and running. The relative small-fry will only have such stuffs if they are undercover so-to-speak and on a recon-spy mission. All the others will be are plot-lines that lead to the BBE plot-center (or criss-cross, or however complicated you make such things). My only tip would be to make your plots a wee bit deeper, have back-up plot threads (organizations usually) you can toss in to fill in potential holes in the plot thread later (such as a particular organization that the PCs uncover that move many ellicit goods within the port city but don't actually ship it but the PCs investigate into who does the shipping, a lead you didn't consider atm <insert prefab group here>). Best of luck with it! [/QUOTE]
