Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 806749" data-attributes="member: 3929">Wisdom of the ancients: Divide and conquer.Casters have a ball when dealing with enemies that are far away and charging, but they run into problems when confronted face to face. Grappling is always a problem for casters, and there are plenty of beasties who can do that. Ambushes and readied actions can go a long way to reducing the effictiveness of casters. Cast silence on a monk and have him do a kung-fu demonstration on the wizard's face.The casters will complain, but this is also a reasonable tactic: the group's enemies will know all about them. Their strengths and weaknesses. If the group has been blasting the bejesus out of everything for the past few months, the bad guys will know to take out the magical support. All they have to do to accomplish this is to engage the party once every seven hours. Three times a day. That shouldn't be hard if the party has gained the notice of high level baddies.If the wizard has been polymorphing and feebleminding every bad guy group leader in sight, start using illusions to make him waste spells. Disguise the leader. Outfit the baddies with rings of stable form, mind protection headbands, and instant getaway devices. Have some of these bad guys be lasting; if things don't go their way, they retreat, and the party won't get their stuff.Use nets to stop the caster's somatic components from being possible. Equip bad guys with anti-magic stuff. Send Forsakers after them. Go to dead magic zones.Have the government place a ban on all divine or arcane magic not sanctioned by the Ministry of Magic. Lots of things you can do to nix casters. They just won't like it.</blockquote>
