Re: OT: Null has gone looney and wants to GM.
It's called debuffing. Granted, without ranks in Knoweledge(Nature) or Knoweledge(Religion) it's unlikely that they'd have known exactly what the effect would be; likewise, it's not unreasonable to assume that the little gnome just likes to stay close to the big ape for protection; that specific counter is highly specific to the situation at hand, and potentially needed some metagame knowelege. The normal method of debuffing is with specific debuff spells (Ray of Enfeeblement and Enervation to name two) that reduce a character with no save or with Dispel Magic. There's also a lot of overlap with Save or Suck spells (Glitterdust, Stinking Cloud) which can often mean the difference between victory and failure.
Hmm... need to get a Wand of Grease...
Also - Level now (we are in what is - currently - a relatively safe place) or later (in a living town).
