[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7716181, member: 6802178"] You keep making the same mistake, so I'll point it out again in the hopes you see it. I made it quite clear spellcasting should be slower in a REVISED initiative system as Mearls' is suggesting such a system might be a future option. I DID NOT suggest the current rules need it - yet every example you give for this 'not being right' demands I show you where in the CURRENT RULES my argument is right. I hope that makes it abundantly clear you are comparing apples and oranges. By the way - remember some spells have to be thrown as an attack - are you suggesting a 'finger point' is the entire somatic component of every spell? ... and I see you still won't tackle the component issue, which the current rules say is as fast as a foci. Tell you what - I'll bring my LARP sword round your house - you can have just ONE component in a pouch [I]which is already open[/I], and I'll let you 'draw' first and you won't have to say any words or even point... ... grab the component within 10 feet of me and I'll hit you first EVERY... SINGLE... TIME before that component sees daylight - guaranteed. Do it within 5ft and I'll hit you twice. Anyway - enough said - the RAW doesn't stop you having insta-spells, so enjoy them. [/QUOTE]
