But it was more a "feature" of the stacking rules than stacking spells IIRC (it was, after all, a long time ago...)In the current 5e, stacking wouldn't allow that : advantage doesn't stack, very few spells provide a flat bonus... Shield of faith (+2) ? Not many other I can think of.The main thing it prevent one from stacking are spells granting special abilities like flying and invisibility.I am also doubting that there are battlefield-controlling spell providing a sufficent advantage to warrant both concentration (and risking becoming the enemy's pincushion) and saving throws. I'd say forcecage might qualify as providing enough advantage (potentially splitting the enemy group in half), but it's a 7th level spell and it doesn't offer a saving throw.</blockquote>
