[QUOTE="Vexed, post: 1030584, member: 7361"] Zog said "I really don't see what the big problem is.

I agree with you. Except for the (a cleric that stumbles into a room of angry monks INS'T going to get the spell off). Being able to cast defensively (in our group) usually negates the option of getting an AOO on someone casting a spell. Around 8th level and up trying to stop a wiz/clr from casting by hitting them with an AOO is all but useless. (for example) With no positive con mod or any other bonus, they would still have better than a 60% chance to get their highest spell off. Anything after 12th level is whatever....... Aside from that you are right on the money. *Assuming you max out your concentration. Its been my experience most spellcasters attempt to do this : ) [/QUOTE]
