[QUOTE="Nightfly, post: 5322592, member: 89601"] You can pick a worst-case scenario and run with it, but I'm not sure that tells the whole tale. Sometimes I keep rolling very low or very high -- that doesn't mean Wand of Accuracy isn't good. Sometimes I'll go several encounters in a row without wanting to replace the spells I've prepared -- that doesn't mean Tome of Readiness isn't good. And yeah, sometimes you'll roll a one twice, but this is still a very strong power for certain builds. If I were playing a genasi blaster wizard, I'd like this ability even if I could only use it once per encounter. Since it actually can be used every single attack roll...come on, that's pretty good. I've hit as many as seven monsters in one attack using Flame Shroud; changing a roll of one to a roll of five would equal 28 more damage. More control-based wizards won't care about that, but I'm sure some optimization-crazed blaster wizards out there are salivating over this feature. It's not game-breaking, but it's pretty nice.
