[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8673528, member: 6877472"] Tetrasodium, I love that post for it's excellent breakdown of how we got to this strange place with Wizards and how they cast spells- I've often pointed out that concentration caused as many problems as it cured with regards to casting buff spells on allies. The only reason I didn't actually love the post is that it's a sad state of affairs. I want to play a Transmutation Wizard that's constantly throwing out buffs on my allies, it's a fun thing for me to do. But there are so many more efficient spells I could be using my concentration on instead that I find it hard to do so. Like enlarging my party Fighter- so a handful of d4's get chucked over the course of a fight. Or I could instead drop a cloud of daggers in an ideal spot. Or just web a few monsters to take them out of the fight until we're ready to deal with them. And so on, and so forth. And as I get higher level spells to work with, the priority of what I can select to concentrate on increases. You wanted haste? Why, when I can instead slow up to 6 creatures? [/QUOTE]
