Re: OOC Chat
Man, Entangle is a powerful 1st-level spell! If not for our goblin druid, we'd be swarmed by the enemy orcs by now. However, since they're Entangled, we only have to deal with a few at a time.
I realized how powerful this spell was in the CRPG, Temple of Elemental Evil. It's a very buggy game that becomes awesome if you install the fan-made Circle of Eight patch, which fixes most of the bugs and adds a ton of content (bringing the level cap to 20, from 10 in the original unmodded game). There was a recruitable druid NPC named Meleny (who became the party leader's wife through a quest) who came in very handy at an area swarming with evil humanoids. Evil, melee humanoids, who couldn't do anything while Entangled. Fortunately, my entire party had ranged weapons, either as a primary weapon or as a backup, and I managed to take out most of the enemy before they could break free from the spell.
