[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6577944, member: 9789"] To be fair, it sounds like the fly spell was the most important thing that happened in the entire battle. So, assuming that was you, you actually won the battle for the team with just that one spell. And as you said, if the battle had gone sour you would have been the only reason it wasn't a TPK. So really, it sounds like you were more like the "3.5 bard" of the party. All the same, thanks for the feedback. As our group is slowing getting deeper into the spells, the "concentration economy" is becoming more and more apparent. Virtually anything you want to do other than throw damage at something requires concentration. This also makes multiple casters extremely potent (typically) because having more than one concentration spell up at a time is amazing. But legendary creatures seem designed to make sure that martials get their day in the sun as well. To be fair, your entire OP could have been a fighter complaining that the wizard ended the battle in 2 rounds in a 3.5 game - as I'm sure you know. :) I still remember the time our wizard powdered the BBEG with a super-lucky 15%-chance-to-succeed disintegrate. I guess they're trying to avoid those situations now as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
