[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8981023, member: 72555"] Yes, that is why I described the benefit. On 3 rounds on 3 melee PCs, it comes to more than a melee PC's worth of damage if they had 100% accuracy, if they do nothing to optimize having it. If they do GWM/SS because they have it and aren't idiots, the benefit will be even larger. Concentration is there, sure. Bless is a slot-efficient way to turn level 1 spell slots plus concentration into combat power. Most better concentration spells are level 3 or above. Aura of Vitality -- awesome! Level 3. Spirit Guardians -- awesome! Level 3. Haste -- takes as long as Bless to generate as much offensive power, and level 3. Main benefit is speed boost really. Faerie Fire - requires a save, or does nothing. Zephyr Strike -- mobility spell with a small damage finisher. Not really competing. Improved Invisibility -- awesome! Level 3. Accuracy boost is larger, but applies to 1 PC. So roughly similar yield. Heat Metal -- Requires enemy to have armor, level 2. Fly -- awesome mobility! Level 3. Hypnotic Pattern -- awesome crowd control! Level 3. Polymorph -- unless you are a sorcerer, how do you have both spells? Anyhow, awesome! Level 4. Bless is a 1st level slot. At low levels, it is what you have. At high levels, the slot cost is nearly free, while the competition slots aren't until late T3/T4. [/QUOTE]
