So... comments for today's session?

Seems I can't just ask for comments anymore - it won't let me put in two of the same post....

Also, it would probably be a good idea to set a time slot.

Why the heck does that wizard use so many scrying spells? Whenever you tell us to make a Will save, we know that if we fail, some demon is going to pop up.

Because he's a Sorceror, not a Wizard - he has a much more limited spell list, and must focus on a smaller set of tricks. Also, the Scry/Buff/Teleport combo is quite effective.... and permits me to have a relatively rational explanation for random encounters of a reasonable CR for the party's level without having to worry about why entire towns aren't routinely wiped out by the hordes of wandering monsters.

Scramble it up, like scry, then summon the monsters once everyone is sound asleep again.

For that kind of thing, though, I'd either need to get the party to stay in place (which wouldn't be too hard), or get a "mundane" spy to track the party and report a decent description of the place (which wouldn't be difficult either ... hmm ...) ... or perhaps something else....

Doesn't scrying last a while?

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
 
1 min/level; not really enough time for everyone to go back to sleep.... besides; the scrying itself only wakes someone if they succeed on the save ... in which case, the scryer doesn't see anything, and can't try again for a day. Greater Scrying takes only a standard action, and lasts 1 hour/level - but it's a higher level spell.

...

Which reminds me - I need to level up the BBEG to keep him a little bit ahead....

...

There. He now has a few more tricks in his repetior.

Oh, I have plenty of ideas already. There are some interesting interations when one spell duplicates another except for a few details....

Good to know.

Yeah. Although something other than demons to smite would be nice...

...Perferably something with treasure. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
