      Makes me miss RoleMaster’s Deflection, with it’s +100% DB (+20 AC) instantaneous spell.

      Since may spells would take 3 rounds to cast, Instantaneous was pretty clutch.

        How would this work? I’m not familiar at all with rolemaster but is this effectively a mega shield spell? How I currently understand RPGs, easily blocking an effect that takes 3 rounds to pull off feels kinda irritating, but I don’t know the system to understand it properly.

    This is why I miss the pre-cantrip days.

    Wizard: Oh, I’m out of spell slots. Good thing I dipped a level in Fighter so I can still smash some heads together

      I hated those days so much. I love a good gish but not cover up for shitty forced resource management.

      “oh boy, I played a fantasy game so I can be someone that can use magic and think about all the neat ways to use it and have an escapist power fantasy … except that I’ll arbitrarily just run out of magic so I can’t play my concept anymore until later. Great. Thats exactly what I wanted. Thanks D&D.” I’m so glad when a group is open to another system.

      -edit- to clarify, I’m just saying I don’t care for that style of play. I hope you find people to play that kind of game with and have a good time. Just at a different table than mine ;)
