[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6645733, member: 5834"] I disagree. [I]bless[/I] is always a productive casting unless you expect the fight to end very quickly. Watched someone cast [I]faerie fire[/I] the other day, five of six targets saved. He was using a concentration slot on a spell that affected only one target. You can save by random luck against many spells. And [I]bless[/I] stacks with the advantage given by the fire. [I]Web[/I] and [I]evard's tenatcles[/I] do not interfere with [I]bless[/I] and are not usually cast by the cleric. [I]Circle of Power[/I] is generally a paladin or a bard taking with magical secrets and useful only against casters or creatures with magical effects, which are very rare. Once again, it stacks with [I]bless[/I]. [I]Polymorph[/I] does not compete with [I]bless[/I]. Only a trickery cleric would have the choice. Even then [I]Polymorph[/I] affects one target for a 4th level slot, while [I]bless[/I] affects three for a 1st level slot. It's almost never bad to cast [I]bless[/I]. Though I don't waste spell slots on short fights. I generally wait to cast [I]bless[/I] if I think the fight will be substantial. We have debated the power of [I]bless[/I]. It probably is an overpowered spell for 1st level. I've found clerics have a lot of boring, but powerful spells like [I]spiritual guardians[/I], [I]holy aura[/I], and [I]divine word[/I]. All very boring, but very powerful. [/QUOTE]
