[QUOTE="Dr_Rictus, post: 505264, member: 850"] I don't mean to re-open the debate here. There are many old threads on this subject and anyone who wishes to discuss it should use one of those. That said, here is the answer to Gez's question: The main cited problem with [i]haste[/i] is that it allows spellcasters to blow their spells out the hatch very quickly. The power of this effect is strongly dependent on how many encounters the spellcasters can expect between rest periods (and whether, therefore, they have to be at all careful about using up all their spells). This has lead to problems for a number of people. The haste bonus to AC, because it stacks with everything, has also occasionally been cited as a problem. Please note: I've tried to be factual and even-handed with that answer, and [i]just[/i] reply to Gez's question. I have not claimed that there is a problem or that there isn't one, only what people have said is a problem. Once again, please do not start the never-ending argument again in this thread. [/QUOTE]
