[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7956898, member: 93670"] I think the wineglass comment may have been cribbed from [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-5e-easy-mode.671147/post-7956422']here[/URL] where I mentioned how 5e removed the higher dc caster level check or interrupt during casting that was present in 3.5 compared to 5e where it's much easier to make the save. The 3.5 wine glass to the face when alice started casting fireball in the middle of dinner negotiations did have a very good chance of interrupting her. Interrupts were the bane of spellcasters in any group that used them & the most important use of melfs acid arrow (trolls aside). Here are some examples of things carelessly tossed aside in 5e [spoiler="spell resistance"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1586043197652.png"]120477[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] This was pretty much AC for spells that needed to be met before even getting to the touch attack or save. As a caster it was one of the banes of your assistance because even moderate SR levels had a chance of nullifying the spell but not the spell slot use if you rolled poorly [spoiler="Meaningful Concentration checks"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1586043541400.png"]120478[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1586043686126.png"]120480[/ATTACH][/spoiler] Yea a lot of it is the same thing over & over again to include various sources, but it combined to make casting a risk that could be easily interrupted. That doesn't get into things like ][spoiler="casting time"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1586044043271.png"]120481[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1586044178887.png"]120482[/ATTACH][/spoiler] In 5e the frenemy that started the Alice/wineglass interrupt needs to (each round) ready an action to throw it in her face if she starts casting a spell while in 3.5 they just need to do it in what amounts to "before her next turn". Even if the wineglass does 1d4+2 for circumstance of alcohol in the eyes or whatever the DC to get that 3rd level fireball off is 13+1d4+2 for DC 16-19. [/QUOTE]
