[QUOTE="Zubatcarteira, post: 8744729, member: 7025705"] It does feel like spells are on a big pedestal and that they treat it as a very special thing, they're the only system that truly scales with levels and such (say, if there's a magic disease, it can say it needs a 6th level Heal or similar spell to cure it, even though there are non-spell disease curing abilities in the game, you just won't know if a Lay on Hands could work or not). I was looking at it the other day, on the "tiers of play" part of the DMG, where it talks about the amazing abilities that you unlock as you level up that let you change the world around you.
