This player even makes movement through their square during combat difficult because they are "not a willing creature." It was hilarious, but frustrating.
    I'm glad that the DM acknowledges the issue and "rewards" it.

    However, I don't understand the Unseen Servant thing ... there are a couple of issues.

    1) Unseen Servant is a ritual. Bards have ritual casting. He can cast it as often as he likes as a ritual without using spell slots. It only takes 10 minutes+6 seconds.

    2) Moving through an ally's square is difficult terrain. Moving through a square with an unwilling creature isn't possible. So he is making movement more difficult for everyone by not letting folks pass through their square.

    Anyway, I am happy that I don't have to deal with them :)

    Edit: removed my original point 1 ... I need to learn to read better :)
