I think the most annoying thing getting to me now (over 22 hours in) is the fact that magic doesn't have a hit chance but melee does. Not only is the battlefield an elemental disaster zone, and attacks of opportunity, and cost to move within reach, but then you still miss. Caster sits way back and never misses and stays out of almost all the magic effects.
I WANT MAGIC TO HAVE A HIT CHANCE!
Agreed and this is a common issue with several TB games. That alone really gives magic a leg up.
Harry Potter and Gandalf can miss, no?
