[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 9140772, member: 996"] It'd be an equally reasonable question as to whether applying magical healing of the traditional laying-on-hands variety is a strong fictional trope as a moment-by-moment thing. It's really not, is it? What about the sheer variety of spells D&D casters gain access too, and the frequency with which they use them? The D&D movie, the last one, the only one to be at all successful, had a Bard, Druid, and Sorcerer on the heroes' side. Honor Among Thieves, yeah, that one. Only the Sorcerer cast spells, and that with a bit of difficulty (I wasn't counting, how many spells did he cast?) Why didn't the Druid & Bard cast spells? It'd've just been too much to convey to the audience, wouldn't it? Establishing that one character does magic and another shapechanges and a third was a "Harper" spy was quite enough, as it was. But those aren't issues when deciding to include the Cleric or Paladin, or give casters hundreds of spells to choose from, are they? [/QUOTE]
