[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8301686, member: 7023840"] I assume you didn't read the entire post. Or, maybe, you just don't care for the premise (which is cool). But it wasn't "passive aggressive." So allow me to provide you the annotated OP in respond to your agressive-agressive post. 1. This is a specific solution modeled after a prior example used in D&D. Not just by TSR, and not just in D&D, but by me in prior campaigns. It worked really well, and I was seeing how it would be adapted to 5e. 2. I don't want to remove all combat spells- instead, as I wrote in the OP (and pace Lankhmar) "To be clear- changing the casting time, extending the casting time, would have a massive and deleterious effect on spellcasting within combat. It would make martial characters much more important for combat, and make spellcasting more of a utility and out-of-combat experience, with only limited uses for combat." There would still be occasions for the big blast- but they would have to be considered (such as the hidden spell caster, or ambushes). 3. I love having the idea criticized, and I have responded to criticisms- such as "What to do about Elves, and Bards, and the Paladin smite-y thing." I don't have answers for all of that. That's why I posted- I was looking for 5e-specific feedback on implementation, But repeated catcalls of, "Your idea is stupid, because I want my spellcaster to be awesome in combat with spells," is... well, it's definitely an opinion! But to quote my OP- [I]What do you think? And by that, I don't mean, "I LOVE SPELLS! SPELLS ARE WICKED KEWL! YOU ARE A BAD BAD MAN FOR EVEN SUGGESTING THIS!" I know I'm a bad, bad man. Just call me Leroy Brown. But I'm more interested in feedback as to whether you think that specific implementation would be successful at the goal of creating a campaign feel, in 5e, similar to that of the prior Lankhmar setting.[/I] I'm deeply sorry I hurt your spell caster feels. Leroy Brown out. [/QUOTE]
