So you're admitting that it is a strawman, while also saying you don't think it was?
> it's done to reduce the difficulty of the upcoming fight by a moderate to large amount. In other words the pre buffing person wants to REDUCE challenge.
Yes, but this is a inherent DnD issue and I never sugested the system should be added to RT.
What I did say was that if enemies were to inflict serious debuffs to the RT party, which had to be managed or treated by the player party in combat, that would add to the games difficulty. Which is absolutely true.
One of the more significant issues with RTs combat is the abundance of action points, free actions and the comparative ease of access to Heroic acts as compared to the power they give the players party.
So if part of the player teams turn were taken up dispelling debuffs applied by enemies, this would decrase the amount of AP a player could expend on attacking the enemies per turn.
Which would make the fights harder without blowing up enemy stats (even though I think that would be warranted as well in quite a few cases). Obviously these debuffs would have to be quite signifcant, such as large % maluses to hit, or flat -AP/MP things similiar to the wounds recieved from character KO.
As for WotR, in the early game, which the OP was talking about, Spell slots and gold are limited resources, and having to manage which spells and scrolls you bring, and when you use them absolutely is a part of the challenge of Act 1.
This remains the case until late act 2 whenyou have an abundance of lower and medium level spell slots at your disposal, and 24 hour durations on the majority of your buffs. After that point, this part of the game becomes more of an anoyance than any sort of challenge. Though more so a fault of the design of DnD 2-3-3,5 than Owlcat itself.
