[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6633889, member: 5834"] No. That is the argument you were making. You don't want to acknowledge that game circumstances require a [I]fly[/I] spell for a martial to engage a dragon effectively in combat. That they have a mobility issue. That concentration creates a situation where a caster must choose to play selfishly leaving the melee martial on the ground doing nothing or play as a team using a [I]fly[/I] spell and using one of his many other options to attack that the melee martial doesn't have. You even posted that if he wants to palya melee martial that can fly, he should multilclass basically eliminating a bunch of classic fantasy archetypes from play. You did write that. I doubt you comprehend my posts. Let's see all the contradictions you've posted in this thread: 1. You don't want to be forced to buff somebody... Yet 2. You don't like someone being good at everything...which means they might need some help at things they're not good at meaning buffs. Yet 3. encourage them to multiclass so they can fly and use their melee martial weapon in combat requiring the ability to cast at least a 3rd level spell meaning only making Eldritch Knights or multiclass caster/melee martials Yet 4. "It's the players responsibility to make sure this happens himself" while 5. Not being good at everything. In a game that 6. Doesn't have default magic items as the standard. Like I said, there was a reason you're on ignore. You don't make much sense. You're all over the place and don't realize how much of what you posted doesn't add up. Ah. Now talking about Stockholm Syndrome and making an asinine response. Now you're attempting to make it seem like any of what you posted isn't true. Are you saying the following isn't true? 1. If you set a selfish precedent, other players will reciprocate? Not true? Really? You believe that? You don't respond in kind when you are treated a certain way? Certainly seems like you do. 2. Stuck doing it for another player. Yes. I am stuck. Concentration mechanic is not optional if playing without house rules. If I want a large percentage of my party's damage to be brought to bear on my enemies, then yes, I am stuck casting the [I]fly[/I] spell because of the game. Why you don't believe this is true, I don't know. You couldn't prove it in actual battle in the circumstances we were in. You would have wiped your party trying to kill a dragon by yourself why your melee buddy stood on the ground waiting. 3.
