[QUOTE="darjr, post: 9614287, member: 52905"] I get your point, funny though I didn't see it that way, though I have explained rolling to cast as a simplification without saving throws or to hit rolls. I saw it as making it harder to cast the spell on a target you can't make out completely, not that your trying to hit them like with an arrow or a thrown dagger. Magic is dangerous, think of the wish spell, so you need to get it right, and if you only have partial information it's easier to get it wrong. Now the simplification, removing saving throws and to hits, is great. I do like that. But from now on I'm going to make a point in my explanations that the spell roll doesn't "replace" them. It just gives us a reason we don't need them. [/QUOTE]
