Message: <blockquote data-quote="Baramay" data-source="post: 2794517" data-attributes="member: 38158">I have put some thought into what I wrote.  It was not meant to be a topic of debate just an example.  When chosing which spells to cast one has to factor in their own existing defenses, the health of their companions, their own ability to sustains hits and the threat posed by the enemy.  The character I mentioned is a 10th level wizard with AC of 18 and 58hp.  His hp were high than some of the other party members.  His +3 con bonus helps alot.  I could understand being more conservative if he had a -1 or even no con bonus.Having used his most powerful spells in defense he did not have much left to change the flow of battle except lightning bolts and magic missiles.The opponents we were facing was a 12 ECL, ie. very deadly.  One character died during the fight and many others came close to death.  When people die, actions come into question.  If a group is having success things are overlooked.  The character was told to start helping more or find new people to travel with.  This comment was made after the speaker was told of his habit of looking out for #1.If you are going to hang back and protect yourself as your meatshields absorb the brunt of attacks against you, then grab their items and leave their bodies; you should get some minions, and find a dark cave because you are going to be very lonely and not considered a hero.  Cowards should not go looking for fights.</blockquote>
