[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 7981109, member: 6988941"] I wouldn't make it reaction based for most of the classes, as for most of them I think the lore would be more that they concentrate real hard and expend extra resources to do something they [I]know[/I] how to do but are not prepared for that day. It seems like something that should take 10-20 minutes or so to scour their memories, review their spellbook, whatever.
