[QUOTE="sheadunne, post: 6109662, member: 27570"] Huge centipede wouldn't work without handwaving the conjuration spell since the duration is more than likely less than what's required to traverse the wasteland and without the ability to communicate with the creature, you cannot control its actions. Overland Flight would be a better choice and I would have no problem with it. I don't dictate the player's course of action, but I don't handwave rules (rules fixes happen outside the course of play, not in the middle of it). My issue is the spell itself and "fixing" the results of the spell is putting a bandaid on the problem. My post wasn't about the effects, but about the spell itself. I'm not choosing to get involved in this discussion about play style. I've said my peace about it several posts ago. I'm only talking about a single spell and the issues I have with it and spells like it. As I mentioned above, if the DM is playing by the rules, their solution probably wouldn't work (I don't know all the details). They need different spells and from what I gathered, they didn't have them. Again, I wasn't there, I don't know all the details. [/QUOTE]
