I'm sure there are more examples of things like that with some of them dramatcally more problematic too.There's also the problem of the numbers often not really supporting it very well pointed out by  [USER=6987520]@dnd4vr[/USER] above.  Sure it might work great against certain spellcasters (ie many wizards), but so will most anything else.</blockquote>
