If he's smart, he uses those even if they travel overland.IOW - the choice is between"you take a whole day, may have random encounters, and may arrive less than fresh"and"you take 6 seconds and are down one spell"It's just a tad bit of a difference.Because it's a whole hour! And probably because the spellcaster (or other character) has some sort of all-day flight, or another type of item (bronze griffin etc). Why wait an hour when it takes less than 5 minutes?Not to mention the fact that if the ravine/canyon was that easy for the PC's, then the DM didn't even bring up it's existence in the first place.Seriously now - have you never heard the saying that time is money? Beyond that - if the situation is not a challenge, why is the DM even bringing it up? And if it IS a challenge, then you have to expend resources to overcome it. Often it's very easy to make that resource a single spell.Not really relevant. Damage differential? We're talking about the forsaker1) being disruptiveand 2) suckingI fail to see how dragonstar having weapons that make character skill moot has anything to do with a forsaker having a pathetic attack and damage bonus.Well, it's more like "why walk all day to the store, potentially encountering dangerous creatures and hazardous terrain when I can travel there instantly". I think that there's more than a trivial difference between the two.</blockquote>
