[QUOTE="the_bruiser, post: 437253, member: 6126"] [b]peristant stuff[/b] I think I've seen the worst abuse of Persistant Spell ever in my campaign. One player has a tribal shaman kind of guy. He picked up a level of the prestige class that lets you dance to create metamagic effects, rather than casting the spells at a higher level. So, in the morning, in addition to jacking his STR to 18 and getting fighter attack bonuses with that Divine Whatever spell, he dances around and makes everybody PERSISTENT REGENERATING (the base spell is from the Ranger/Barbarian Druis book, I think). It actually ends up burning him a bunch of temporary CON points - which he then gets rid of with Lesser Restorations. I don't mind that much, though - the character still isn't as good a fighter as the straight-class fighters, and after combats there's no more counting of Cure spells - instead, we just say "five minutes later, everyone's at full" and go to the next thing. Of course, since wearing them down with small combats doesn't work any more, I have to kill more of them all at once in big battles to keep it interesting . :D [/QUOTE]
