[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2973210, member: 158"] If I were to speculate, I'd say that you might not see it much in that group because of the makeup. Paladins and Favored Souls don't have much in the way of TONS of buffing spells, and what the 'Soul has is set in stone, barring lots of scrolls or wands. By Contrast, my current Eberron group has both a Cleric and an Artificer included. Both see TONS of spell use of all sorts of spells. I intentionally opened the gates wide on our high level campaign, to gain the experience from it, and what I found is that lots of spell choice leads to tons of temporary modifiers. I wouldn't mind it if we tracked ONE spell effect on a battlefield, but we've been in battles complicated enough to track 5 or 6 at one time! (lessee...Vortex of Teeth, Mass Bear's Endurance, Entangle, fog cloud, Wall of force, AND Wall of limbs, from memory!) Of those, three either gave temp bonuses, or penalties of concealment, movement, or vision, and one was dependent on where you were standing in it as to whether you took damage or not (vortex has an "eye" in the middle!)
