[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 9636745, member: 7029501"] I'm curious, having seen the discussions for decades, the carrying of lit torches and pitchforks, etal. Would it effectively stop the abuse, if I simply disallowed the ability to cast a second spell in a single round? I ask, because in all my years of playing and DM'ing, I've never used the spell, or had anyone else use it! Including the OG 3E version the internet insists is irredeemably broken. BUT, I'm currently DMing a 3E game, and wondered just in case. We're using the original 3rd edition books- because everyone has them. (and to avoid any extra bloat or annoying compatibility issues.) I do have softcover reprints of the 3.5 rules, and have been picking and choosing items from them. For example, the lists for the 3.5E summon monster spells are WAY better- there is a much more interesting- and useful- selection there. Cuts down on my having to break out the ruler to smack at hands reaching for my Monster Manual, lol. I haven't compared the 2 Haste spells side by side, yet- we're nowhere near that level! TBH, I still like playing 2014, and OSR style games better, but 3E as an edition IS quite fun as well. For one thing scaling things up and down is a breeze, and I LOVE monster templates, and their monster advancement rules. ( I know... WAY off topic, but I've been on a real Ebay kick, lately, and have been devouring new adventures and monster books, lol) [/QUOTE]
