[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9132008, member: 6704184"] Laughs aside, I do wish attacks could interrupt casting. Force a save vs losing the spell at least. Then make Mage Slayer [I]interrupt[/I] the spell you’re reacting to, and maybe even give the martial classes features that let them interfere with casting. Then also (kinda related) let weapons and other mundane tools damage or interfere with persistent spell effects. If I have a mechanical way to open a flood gate and wash out the area of the fight, that should at least have a chance of shutting off a wall of flame. * I wouldn’t be down for not being able to move or defend yourself, though.
