He has come up with an idea to help cover his good spells in battle by accepting a few hits from casting a minor spell.  Bad idea on taking any hits but still better than wasting your good spells on a possible concentration check going bad.You also approved the spell research, you let him have the spell and then you took it away because it disrupts your readied actions.  Frankly doing that would have been enough for me to walk and find a new game if that is the only reason to remove the spell.  It sounds like you are doing everything to disrupt the character’s abilities and he came up with a way to counter that.  You should reward not punish.  Do you ready actions against fighters moving to attack or other characters doing their standard action or ability? If not than the constant targeting spell casters with readied action could be seen as unfair or prejudice against the player or spell casting characters.If the idea of disrupting your readied actions by taking a chance at getting hit for casting a swift spell to draw their fire doesn’t work, what are you going to do when he takes Leadership and gets himself a Monk cohort to stand by and draw the fire by acting like a spell caster since he is also unarmored and no one without spellcraft would or should know the difference.  That would be something I would do playing a highly intelligent wizard getting shot at everything I go to cast a spell.The player’s idea of the actual spell may have been immature, but your reaction to the countering of NPC readied actions is far more immature.No offense meant, but sometimes it might be best to step back and look at the game from other angles to make sure you as the DM are being fair and letting the players have fun and use their character's abilities, and let them counter you once an while, let it be a challenge to come up with new tactic to challenge them with.RD</blockquote>
