Does it stop you from swinging your sword again later in another combat or even the next round do you have to rest a certain amount of hours to get to swing the sword again?The answer is no you don't you may take some penalties if you don't rest but you don't lose the ability to swing your sword.With spell casters most of them get a finite amount of spells and then you are done for the day. Let's not forget some spells require rolling to hit and if you miss bye bye spell. There are creatures who have spell resistance and if you don't get through that bye bye spell. Now you want to add another level of possibly failure.  If you have to combat cast and you don't make it bye bye spell. As a fighter if I swing my sword at you and you had a held action and you hit me I take damage but it does not effect my ability to swing my sword if I am still on my feet and not a 1HP if I am a spell caster and you do that I have to make a concentration attack adding in the damage to make the spell work if I fail well bye bye spell.</blockquote>
