Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nail" data-source="post: 3704250" data-attributes="member: 224">FWIW:I'm currently DMing a party with a Warmage (and thus access to both AoE and Orb spells spontaneously).As a DM, a challenge that I can no longer present is an enemy with Energy Resistance.  The Orb spells allow the Warmage to overcome this easily.  I admit this is because of the synergy between the Warmage class and Orb spells, but if those orb spells weren't there.....Addressing the use per encounter of AoE spells: I'd say (IMC only!), AoE spells are not usable about one out of every four encounters.  There's either cramped quarters, poor LoS, or mixed melee.  Orb spells work just fine in a much higher percentage of conditions (again, IMC).[EDIT] Since I've removed the "SR = No" from the Orb spells, that particular issue is a moot point for my campaign.</blockquote>
