[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1427272, member: 14403"] Two problem areas... 1) Monster Summoning: Most players for some reason feel that it is up to the DM to run their monsters for them. My house rule is that if the Wizard player doesn't have the stats written up in advance or at least bring their own monster manual then no Monster Summoning for them. There is a great Monster Manual database for Tomeraider that can be run on Palm OS that is a godsend. 2) Enchantment spells: Preparing an encounter for hack & slash is a piece of cake but what about when the Wizard casts Charm Monster on one of the baddies and starts wanting to pull all sorts of information out of him that you really hadn't given any consideration to. Heck, you meant for the creep to be cannon fodder not a new NPC henchman. Requires quick thinking on the part of any DM. :cool: [/QUOTE]
