They could use a web spell on Winter Wolves or something but if that's effective, the Wolves might have a master somewhere in the fight and not in the area of the web.Web isn't too powerful but perhaps any DM having trouble with it may want to alter tactics a bit. I can't count the numbe rof times I've heard:PC 1 - We are getting creamedPC 2 - Do we have any area effect magicPC 1 - I can cast Web on the ones over therePC 3 - Cool...WAIT!! I'm over there too and I can't move yet!PC 1 - We'll I can't take another hit from these ****ing whatever they are!!If the enemy is amongst the party then even spells like Grease require some extra thought.</blockquote>
