Even on a successful save, they lose 1 action, and giving up 1/6 of our group's actions for 1/3 of the enemy's is a pretty good trade – particularly since it's pretty common for enemies to have something particularly nasty they can do if they get to spend all three actions on offense. And should they manage to fail their save so the slow sticks around for a full minute, well that's pretty much game over.That said, it is hard to counter the numerical advantage higher-level creatures have, because it's hard to make the things you'd use to level the playing field stick. Demoralize? They'll laugh at your feeble attempts. Trip? Well, you're almost as likely to fall over yourself. You pretty much need to use spells with reasonable effects on a successful save that aren't also Incapacitating.</blockquote>
