[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9780802, member: 93670"] L I'm going to say that you're example rings pretty hollow. I've seen more than one group where the wizard refuses to choose LTH only for a monk/warlock/fighter to go out searching for a source to buy§ the scroll for LTH from -and- gave the wizard coin to scribe it. I've also been that wizard at least once in a non AL game. The first time I saw it, the wizard in question was a player at my AL table and simply said something like"fiiiiinnnnne I do that, does anyone want me to grab them something from little Caesars next door? I'm getting a hotnready and will be back. I'll just sit in the dome till I'm back but don't stop whatever this is on my account" § "buy" is pretty broad and can include players choosing it from the AL list at various levels rather than a magic item suitable for their class from the list You are vastly overestimating the monsters that are even -[I]capable[/I]- if doing liters anything whatsoever after finding LTH & even further overestimating the number capable of doing anything meaningful in 1hr When it's so powerful for over a decade that players who can't even use the scroll will buy/choose it for a resistant wizard rather than a magic item they could use on their own PC it's busted AF to game breaking degrees [/QUOTE]
