[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6633294, member: 5834"] First, we're not geeks. Never really were. Please stop already. Why do you all keep missing that no one demanded anything. He made a character that needs fly to get into combat. I'm his buddy. I cast it, so he can get into battle. I find it strange this is even being debated. I have played for years. I have always played this way. Every edition from the beginning. You play as a group with your buddies. No one demands buffs. You cast them because they help everyone bring force to bear. It was never an issue until 5E with the concentration mechanic. Why is this concept so hard for so many of you to understand? Is the miscommunication this poor? Or do you guys really ignore the melee martial on the ground and let him fend for himself why you launch all your spells in whatever manner pleases you? I don't play that way. Never have played that way. In 3E if an opponent cast [I]fickle winds[/I] and my buddy is an archer, I dispel it. He doesn't demand it. It allows him to have fun playing his concept and he doesn't have the means to do it himself. If one my friends falls in battle or is seriously hurt, I heal him. Do you seriously not do this? That is what boggles my mind if these people around the table are your friends. You want to talk about mind-boggling is this whole conversation that makes it seem like some selfish buddy is demanding the buffs or healing. It should be self-evident when playing with a friend that you will do what needs to be done so you can all have fun WITHOUT BEING ASKED. Do you really not do this when playing with your friends?
