It would take wizards back to the days of 2nd edition when they were almost automatically dead if someone managed to get next to him. That was the whole point of casting defensively. The DC for casting defensively should be made to scale, IMO, so high level casters don't automatically pass...

Yeah, but it's hosing arcane casters, so it's alright with WOTC.

True enough, Anthony. I've seen you around the boards enough to see that you love the game as well. Nothing personal was being directed toward you. I do get the feeling ,however, that many decisions have been made since Hasbro took over that boost short term profits at the expense of the long...
