You know that's wrong. Do youA) ignore itB) briefly and politely remind them of the rule an let it go if even if they don't change the declared outcomeC) ???I would probably go with B most of the time unless it's just narrative description that doesn't have an impact on the overall scene.  Even in that case, I'd probably mention it after the game.  Maybe they just missed that in the spell description.If they ignore the rule, I'll take it into consideration with all other aspects of the game.  How they make decisions is just one small part of whether I enjoy them as a DM.So, can you tell me specifically how you would respond to the levitation issue?  Do you A? B? Something else?  Can you give concrete examples in order to explain where you're coming from and what you mean?</blockquote>
