[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6704689, member: 413"] Maybe. What I've noticed is my players are favoring damage dealing spells. Several game sessions ago I a caster cast slow to great effect on the party and every time most of them had broken the spell, I just cast it again because the caster had three 3rd level slots. They were very annoyed. So one of my players took it and the first time he used it, all but one of the targets made their saves. The one target that was affected still managed to get an attack in then made his save...the player hasn't used it since because he feels like it would be more useful to cast a spell that is guaranteed to do at least some damage (in his case, Hunger of Hadar). Same with banishment as I described above. Will it make Hold Person or Hypnotic Pattern a sure thing? Not completely...concentration still matters. It still takes an action so you can't cast something else. It just makes it not take up another slot to recast the same spell. [/QUOTE]
