[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8336994, member: 6879661"] Sure, not every encounter needs to be a combat encounter. There is also mileage in PCs feeling boss by using overwhelming force on some bandits they could defeat easily. This would wear [B]very[/B] thin for me after it happened once or twice though. I want to be heroic, not spend my time doing the rpg equivalent taking the bins out. Sure you can run a level 15 party through the Sunken Citadel but I think you’d get the same odd looks as if you tried to put a 2nd level party through the Tomb of Horrors. The players having fun, is more important to me than whether the dragon cultists were encountered in Red Larch as I originally intended or Waterdeep. Teleport is a time saving, utility spell. I wouldn’t give any party advantages by taking the teleport spell, other than a solid means of escape. I wouldn’t stop them using it with arbitrary restrictions. However I would know they had it in advance of the session and the session wouldn’t then assume they would take a long circuitous route to reach Waterdeep that the Dragon Cultists are now attacking.
