[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8396160, member: 2629"] But what hinkyness is unclear, right? If they are not spellcasters familiar with the spell, they might assume it is some kind of enhancement spell, right? Think if it this way: Bob steps into a chamber and see three orcs on the opposite side of the chamber. They're in a line. He casts hold person on one. His party races in behind him and gets to attack the paralyzed orc, finishing it off quickly. They're now engaged in melee and get counter attacked, Reverse Time. Bob steps into a chamber and sees three orcs on the opposite side of the chamber in a line. He casts Crown of Madness on the center one. His party races in and attacks one of the other ones killing it. Then the orc with the crown goes and finishes off his other ally. He can't retreat without an OA. The PCs go again and finish him off. I think the sustained Crown is a mislead. This spell generally does the dirty work on the first round, and the concentration beyond that is a "just in case" element. [/QUOTE]
