[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8661740, member: 7015698"] I oppose to design where the ONLY solution is a specific SPELL, leaving no room for ACTUAL creativity. We encountered a Clay Golem once, reduced the max HP of the two front liners, people who's HP is basically a major class feature. None of us could get Greater Restoration at our level. What CREATIVE solution did we used to solve it? We paid a guy the next town over. That's it. It drained some of our treasure and that was that. It wasn't interesting and it felt very frustrating to just not get any options on how to solve the problem. WOW. The Elitism is so thick I can't even cut it with a knife! Vecna's a Big Bad, I don't see how much trouble it is to tweak your Big Bad to your liking.
