[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5448500, member: 79335"] If you want your players to use it, but don't want to be tyrannical about it, the just reward them for using it. Here are a few ways I can think of off the top of my head. Have additional background info available in there about the story that will be of help to the party later on. For example, maybe there is a haunted dungeon that you will have them going through, and incorporeal undead fill the halls. Well, ghosts, being insubstantial and having phasing, are a real pain in the donkey. But maybe there is a hymn tied to this dungeon that can be sung to make it less painful.
