[QUOTE="MuhVerisimilitude, post: 9602372, member: 7042567"] I think there might be one way to change concentration in such a way that it would actually benefit martials, though. One problem concentration has is that it forces casters to be stingy with spells, unless those spells are instant. Since they can only maintain one spell they need to cast spells that have as much impact as possible. Concentrate is fine on control spells, but makes buff spells too expensive, and I think we want to encourage buffing other people. So my proposal is to remove concentration from all buff spells and replace that with a limitation on the number of buffs per target. Instead of a wizard only being able to maintain a single buff on a target, make it so that a character can only benefit from a single buff at a time. This means that the wizard cannot stack self buffs, but they can maintain a single self buff [I]and [/I]maintain buffs on other characters. Edit: I'm not sure if this is actually a good idea, but I have played through one campaign as a martial levels 1-11 and I noticed that all casters preferred to cast a single self buff and maintain that over buffing someone else.
