In some lines it was fine. The Drizzt books seemed to have a mandate to abide by existing game mechanics (I know at one point the author had to defend keeping Artemis Entreri when they go did of the assassin----think his solution was a dual class character). But occasionally in dialogue people would reference character classes and other game mechanics, and it would feel a little odd. Also, I think something that is fun at the table (like a group of 5 characters going into a dungeon) is not always as fun in a novel. I do believe it is best to abide by the rules of the game )(by all means have characters use actual spells). But it still needs to be a novel and story first and foremost</p></blockquote><p></p>
