(I can just imagine a druid that has just been mauled by a critter saying "But I thought the spell said summon nature's ally?")Finally IIRC there is a recomendation that, in such a dungeon environment, movement hindering spells are too powerful.  The module recommends DM fiat outlawing the use of web in the module.  Entangle doesn't really apply because it is mostly a stone environment but that is recommended to be kept out as well.  This one is probably the recommendation I have most problem with, but it is up to the DM.  I only hope that each group who plays the module either all agree or all disagree with this recomended exercise of rule 0 and that harmony abounds at gaming tables everywhere.A DM can choose to ignore these recommendations to help make it fun for any wizard or druid players.  A sorceror can choose their spells to work around it.  The restrictions are also logical and consistent with some of the premises of the dungeon.  But as a player who favours wizards, in a party that has asked for a wizard, I felt a little disappointed that the module threw in a couple of obsticles to begin with.I am approaching the WLD as a player.  While my DM was good enought to warn me about all these hiccups, I haven't read any of the module itself.  Those who have read it say it rocks hard.  In light of these good people's opinions I am looking forward to playing in the WLD, it sounds like overcoming a little wizard pain will be worth it.</blockquote>
