[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3882025, member: 158"] Probably because the spell was used previously to help the fighter resist about 40 points of fire damage in the previous combat, or will be used later to paralyze the main villain and allow the party to take him down. Alternately, that character should have used the potion of cure light or cure moderate wounds that he picked up previously, or had the cleric use the wand of cure light that he purchased for use, so that the cleric wouldn't have been taken advantage of. (I'm not talking about variants where there's little or no magic other than the spellcasters, I'm talking about "default" D&D as presented in the books.) There's a lot of "what-ifs" that people could play with resource usage, just like the party that has harsh feelings at the wizard who uses web instead of his orb of force on the owlbear, and then the party faces a wraith two encounters later, where he saves half of them from level drain. It's just the breaks of playing the game itself -- deciding when to use something, and to best effect, is part of the fun to me. [/QUOTE]
