Because there are many times when characters at our table had something perfect for the job, but it was masked in the setting and/or event and wasn't realized until later. The Gust of Wind when the Rhemorazz kept dipping themselves in water creating a cloud of steam in the cave so we couldn't see, and it used tremor sense comes to mind. Granted, she was a new player, but it was a great learning lesson. And the next time something similar happened, she was all up on it, saving the day.And using a spell every other session (when a wizard at the levels we're talking about) is not favoritism. That roughly equates to 1/15 or 1/16 spells. Not to mention, there will be many times the player's creativity comes up with a useful approach that the DM didn't think about. I really feel like all these approaches being taken refuse to acknowledge table differences, and again, myopically reduce these 1/15 choices down to a must have vs. want to have moment.</blockquote>
