Yes, some (not all) martial classes are proficient in Con saving throws (my monk isn't), but they are going to be making a lot more of them.So this is an option, but it hardly seems like a game-breaking one. As we break down various scenarios, I'm just not seeing much in these rules that will have a huge impact on my games, from the player side. Again, I'll have to wait and see how it works out in practice - mastery has turned out to be a much bigger pain in the butt than anticipated, so maybe this will, too. But my initial take is that circle casting by players looks very situational.Edit: like, I'm trying to imagine what has gone into the "haste scenario" in terms of costs and benefits. Let's say there are four martial classes being given haste before the big fight starts. Those who aren't natural casters, like our party's monk and barbarian, have had to take a level in a different class just to make it happen. Then we've given up four 3rd level spell slots. And given how often each of the frontline characters gets hit, they are going to be making multiple concentration saves every round, so they probably aren't going to get that much use out of the haste before it fails. And now they are dealing with the after effect of being hasted.I kinda feel like, most of the time, casting four fireballs or something would have been a more cost effective use of those spell slots, not to mention character levels.</blockquote>
