[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5807773, member: 9037"] Personally I find everything starts getting hard to handle at higher levels. Not just the casters but the fighters getting four attacks people with max out skill points that make it impossible to fail a check. I think spells should be able to be disrupted but not automatically I have found in the earlier levels hitting a mage who is casting and doing damage can make it hard for the caster to roll a high enough concentration check so they lose the spell. The same with forcing them to combat cast. But as they go up in levels and max out concentration and if they take skill focus concentration as well as the combat casting feat it becomes very hard to disrupted the casting. Shadowrun has my favorite magic system I love the idea of drain. A mage can cast all day and all night long as long as they resist drain. But once they start taking drain and adding the penalties it gets harder and harder to cast. I do think that one of the misconception though is that fighters at higher levels should be dealing out as much damage as a wizard does with an area spell. At higher levels the fighter's job is to help absorb damage and to be able to go toe to toe with significant threats while the wizards handles the multiple numbers of lessor bad guys. One of the things people seem to forget is that if a fighter hits you unless you have damage reduction you take all that damage most area spells have reflex for half which can cut down the damage and rogues very rarely take any damage.
