[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8496448, member: 5889"] On the one hand, banning the spell outright could remove something that could be fun at the table, and all based on theorycrafting. One the other, allowing a broken spell into the game could cause issues with encounters, and lead to that thing a lot of DMs hate: telling a player that the spell their character has fallen in love with is being removed. At the end of the day I ask this question.... does this spell fill some hole in the game that must be filled? Is the game so bereft of spells that the removal of one will be a keenly felt loss? I think the simple answer is... no. If your group has done it all, if you've seen every caster build the game has to offer, and are desperate from something new...than you'll need every spell you can get. But, if your pretty happy with spells as is, then I'm not sure taking a chance on a very powerful (possible broken) spell is really worth the risk. Besides, there are other new spells in the book, and some of them look pretty good. Why not give some of those a whirl....and just leave the potential timebomb on the shelf. [/QUOTE]
