[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 7677249, member: 12032"] I'll pick on something you said _after_ my comment as I think it illustrates the point as well and it happened after you were aware of concerns: You are placing blame on others, finding a problem _they_ have, when the only source of the problem is this specific rule. It may be that they have a problem, but you seem completely unwilling to accept that perhaps the rule is at fault. Or that simply avoiding the spells involved is somehow not an acceptable solution. IMO it's the rule that's flawed. I'm a decent player and my DM is, after some 30 years of playing, probably the second best I've ever seen (been hired to be a game master by the Harn folks to sell their game etc.) We play more of a optimized/strategic game when it comes to combat (plenty of role playing outside of combat, but not much in) and part of the game for us is to see how well we can utilize the options available to us in a fight. IMO these spells become too unpredictable and turns into me having to ask the DM to be able to use my spells as I wish. That is less interesting to me. I find your certainly that my objection to this means that we have a problem to be quite condescending. Hope that explains things. [/QUOTE]
