[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 915603, member: 6939"] I disagree. HP are too broad, that is like saying all casters want spells... If HP were *so* important, than everyplayer would choose to be a warrior. Since they don't, there must be other things that are 'more important' to some players, hence balance. Heck, even if you are going to be a 'front line' type, some choose to take the feats (fighter) some choose abilities (Barb) and some *forgo* the HP's for spells (cleric). Again, showing balance. And you answer your own question. First, the duration of the buff spells in question (there are others) made them almost universal in appeal. It promoted "buffin'" into much more than 20% of the importance; and for those specific spells. (ie. not just for buff spells in general, but Bulls Strength/cats grace specifically) Yes, just about every caster will have some utility spells, but not always the same ones. Not all casters will memorize a summoning spell at all, and definitey not always the same ones. But the power of the BS/CG/etc spells made buffing jump in importance, and almost always for the SAME spells for every caster. . [/QUOTE]
