[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 6953322, member: 6801226"] It is 5e, and story is king. It is one of the fundamental assumptions of the edition, and they have said so over and over again. I am sorry that you don't like it, but there hasn't been even a hint that it is going to change. If it makes you feel better, blame Hasbro, because a rules light (story driven) approach is almost certainly more cost effective over time (unless you can reuse just about everything with a new coat of paint like 4e), so at least part of the decision is probably corporate. Back to binding: you make it sound like the wizard never goes anywhere or does anything but summon a demon, give it a mission, and hang around his parent's basement playing Call of Duty and eating pizza until the demon comes back, so the wizard is never going to attack anything, so why have Fireball in the PHB? And since the wizard will never take damage, obviously we don't need any cure or buff spells, not to mention fighters, clerics, sorcerers, or any other class, because, you know, the demon will take care of everything. A wizard who actually goes into the dungeon will have a reasonable chance to use this spell as written. Every AP since horde of the dragon queen has had at least one critter who could be affected by this spell in it. [/QUOTE]
