[QUOTE="Nail, post: 3867784, member: 224"] Hah! :lol: The player doesn't know what he's talking about. If he needs a clue send 'im to me: I sell 'em cheap. :] ;) The Beguiler should be thanking his lucky stars you aren't throwing the myriad opponents that are [b][u]immune[/u][/b] to mind-affecting magic. Undead? Oozes? Constructs? Plants? Swarms? Vermin? He's not being picked on...he's lucky you are *not* picking on him! It's true that DMs have a fine line to walk. Encounters [type: Combat] should:[list][*]#1)challenge all the PCs, [*]#2) be varied so that different PCs can shine at different times, and [*]#3) be "played intelligently" so that the PCs can't always use the same tactics.[/list] In this particular case, I don't see much of a problem. Bump up the CR of the mooks, and really you've addressed all three issues, without "screwing" a particular PC. Moreover raising the CR of the mooks doesn't really impact the DMs prefered playing style. It's really not that hard. [/QUOTE]
