[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6633893, member: 5834"] What are you talking about? I said I didn't enjoy it. The concentration mechanic limited my fun by making a buff spell more effective than using my concentration slot for casting spells I want to use. I'm not opting into it. It was our most effective option. The melee martial is a main group damage dealer. To be able to use a concentration slot on a damage spell I wanted to use would have required me to make up the damage lost because the melee martial couldn't enter combat. I am not capable of doing so with my spell slots. None of the other stuff you posted applies. You would have done what I had done in the group composition and terrain circumstances afforded to us or you would have died. I've already read your claims of dropping dragons from the sky and the circumstances you play with. None of that applies. This was a dragon in its lair using lair actions and legendary actions with superior mobility and visibility. We did what we had to do to live. My buddy made a melee martial as a prime damage dealer. Getting him into combat is an effective option, but boring due to the concentration mechanic. This other stuff you're writing doesn't change any of that. Doesn't change the circumstances I was in. Nor does it change how the concentration mechanic works as in you cast "fly", you're locked in. That is all game mechanics that limit character options and choices. That limits my ability to have fun as a caster. I'm not even sure what you're discussing any longer. None of it applies to my situation. I already know you're game is non-standard and different than we play, so your experience isn't very applicable. [/QUOTE]
