Anyone else wonder why they didn't combine the 3.5 spell system and the 4th edition..

[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 4352071, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] That wasn't how it was in our campaigns. I provided alot of party support such as [i]haste[/i] and [i]resist energy[/i] and sealed off our fighters with [i]Walls of force[/i] so they weren't flanked. I also gave them [i]fly[/i] spells so they could engage flying enemies. I wasn't a caster that just let my melees twiddle their thumbs while I launched nuke spells. The best damage a caster can do is to boost his comrades. Recently, my priest separated a group of giants using [i]blade barrier[/i], so that our fighter could take them on piecemeal. Design the encounters right and your wizard shouldn't be able to sit back and do all the damage and get all the glory. All he'll end up doing is getting himself killed. With the DM I play with, it would have been stupid of me to try to hog the glory. This DM is a guy who three 3.5 edition Balors into the room with our lvl 18 party and forgot to read what [i]blasphemy[/i] did until he started using it on us. Half the party survived, the the other half not so lucky. [/QUOTE]
