[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 409699, member: 726"] [i]Mass haste[/i] is, in my opinion, the most universally-combat-useful spell in the entire PH, excepting [i]miracle[/i] and [i]wish[/i] which can spoof its effect. Yeah, there are spells with specific other uses that are extremely powerful (Gate, for example), but over all combats throughout a campaign, [i]mass haste[/i] is your winner. The more spell-casters you have in your party, the more powerful it is, but that extra partial action is useful for anyone. It's an extra use of a magic item, or more movement to get a fighter into position for a full attack... oh, and a +4 bonus to everyone's AC that stacks with almost everything. It's just too good. And don't let anyone tell you that the "burn through your spells faster" effect is a significant mitigator, either. (And they'll try! :)) When you're casting twice as many spells in a round, the combats are generally lasting half as long. Since the bard in our party took [i]mass haste[/i], we've had dozens upon dozens of battles, and almost every one of them has started off with said bard casting said spell. It's made the difference in a huge number of those battles. [SIZE=1]This message paid for by the [i]Wizards for Mass Haste Society[/i][/SIZE] -Sagiro [/QUOTE]
