But after 11th or so, when touch spells missing runs about 5% or less, it starts to really fall back in effectiveness, especially when the orb spells start coming into their best power. An orb of force cast by an 11th elvel mage with a decent dex (i.e. missing on a 1) is a far more effective use of a combat round , and face it, most combats take place at close range, which at that level is a respectable 50+ feet. The MM's extra hundreds of feet of range do not really matter much.So I consider it balanced.</blockquote>
