My buddy the fighter is the one carrying great pointy bits of metal, so I cast bull's strength on him.He doesn't lose any attacks at all. Of course I lose the opportunity to cast a damaging spell this round, but at the low levels we're talking about, it's worth it. Over the course of the combat, the increase in the fighter's damage output will equal or exceed the damage I would have done with a direct attack spell.[edited to add]Oh, and saying "10% better to hit" is misleading. It increases your percentage change to hit by 10, but that may be far more (or less) than a one-tenth change in your prospects.The most extreme example: If Fred will exactly hit the BBEG on a 20, with bull's strength he will hit on a 18-20. That more than triples his damage output-- a 200% increase!</blockquote>
