[QUOTE="Warmaster Horus, post: 7274054, member: 6785438"] But how do you know they're cheating? You don't. So instead you will make an assumption that someone who is skilled at pitching various spell 'looks' at their opponent are in fact cheating. And maybe as the DM you'll insinuate that and the other players will begin to think that. And the player will get a bad rep they don't deserve. Or maybe they are a cheat and this rule lets them get away with it because of how it's set up. Or maybe everyone has to write down spells, slowing down the game. Or maybe the PCs team up to form a Spell Identification Plan to enable their casters to Counterspell. Or some other ingenious method players might come up with to gain an advantage (because that's what they do). This improves the game how, again? [/QUOTE]
