Red Flags for DMs?

[Grod_The_Giant]

I fail to see the issue in all these three situations. Other than I do not get why crossing a bridge would require initiative.

You don't see an issue with an NPC asking for help, then casting 9th level spells (meaning he totally could have solved his problem himself) when the player refuses?

I don't get it. Unless you're a Silver Dragon or have magic boots, cloudwalking is a flat-out, completely impossibly thing.
Is this an Epic Level Handbook sorta thing? I'm down with DMs banning special outcomes for triple digit skill checks.

It's in the ELH, yeah.
