[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6089403, member: 6678119"] It's not always so much whether it's rules-legal as sometimes "I put a lot of effort into this and you just bypassed it easily. I feel like an idiot now, and I don't like that." Alternately it can be "I wanted this to be fun and you screwed it up." I played a cleric with the Air domain one time and the DM put us in an arena with a bunch of fog. I of course cast Control Winds on it to disperse it, and boy did the DM give me an evil eye. So I backed off from the full possible power of it being continuous for 10 minutes per level (which was 100 total minutes IIRC) and had a range and radius of 40 feet per level... Yeah, it was the entire arena area that I could have dispersed the fog with. The sad part is it was entirely natural to cast that spell, at least from my and my character's views. Got fog? Clear it. But I backed down because the DM didn't look like he could handle it. So basically it comes down to whether the DM can look at the situation and admit "Alright, you got me. I didn't anticipate that, so well done for you. Just be careful about it, because I'm only human, okay?" [/QUOTE]
