[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7956933, member: 93670"] . If the thrown wine is a touch attack there is almost zero chance of it missing her. The problem with 5e is that interruption is neither easy nor automatic. [spoiler="5e cast a spell and interrupt"] [ATTACH type="full"]120486[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]120484[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] Not only is the DC dramatically cut but the spell no longer needs to wait until the start of the caster's next turn so it effectively goes off instantly [I]unless[/I] someone had a readied action specifically to interrupt & hits Alice like a truck(22+) to make it more than dc10. as opposed to 10+spell level+damage+circumstance mods. In the situation of Alice cutting short negotiations/bullying a frenemyacross the table combat casting would actually make it more difficult for her [ATTACH type="full"]120487[/ATTACH] She needs to make a dc11 caster check to cast the spell and still needs to make the 10+3+damage+circumstance check for getting hit. Going by the needs of 22+ damage* in 5e for mere dc11 check that would be dc35 with her +4 bonus. The critical distinction is that even if it's just the frenemy & maybe/maybe not a low cr guard in 3.5 there is significant chance in losing the spell without needing her to sit across the table from someone capable of leveling the building *Perhaps this frenemy is a storm giant, dragon, or whatever.
