[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7782397, member: 12731"] I'm not saying they can't pull it off, but when your audience isn't asking for it, and given Paizo's record, I remain dubious. After all, adding these restrictions mean nothing unless they then have the courage to actually add them to nearly every spell. Take 5E as an example. Imagine removing the Concentration requirement from as few as a dozen spells, carefully selected. Boom! You've just neutered the entire concept. It still is there on paper, but your Wizard can, I don't know, be invisible while flying and still haste everybody else. My point? When you look at the Magic chapter, it is not nearly enough to just read the initial section where magic rules are explained. You also need to ensure that all the best spells really are bound by the restrictions. And, of course, that there aren't any class abilities or magic items that let you circumvent them. It is this latter part that cements 5E's greatness - the ruthless enforcement of the restrictions. Let's see if Paizo can pull off something similar, but somehow I doubt it... [/QUOTE]
