I mean Heaven...  to start layering blade barriers and summoning as many allies as I can, and buffing them all to the limit, 'cause I figure I'll need them.  And I expect that NE will do everything it can to force St. George and later combatants to be thrown out by draws.  That's why I knew that pulling something big and heavy to shield the torn-up ground was going to be necessary.  My brain has been turning over what's fair, and in my mind I had figured that I shouldn't be allowed to put a blade barrier on top of another one, and maybe I should give a 5 ft separation to allow dodging the later onces by heading straight up.  I don't want to give up the spell-casting flexibility of celestials to deny myself the blade barrier option.  If I had a Wiz16 combatant, I hope no one would argue that I should be required to draw dagger and go hand-to-hand. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Tha said, If we want to get rid of walls, I'll trade out another 6th level spell like Harm to replace the blade barriers.  Maybe that'd be a possibility - force-swap all wall/barrier type spells with a direct combat equivalent.  I'd be up for that.  I've been expecting a demon-spellcasting type NE creature to come through and blast it with a dispel any time now, but maybe there isn't such a beast in the NE lineup for some time to come.</blockquote>
