Hypnotic Pattern is also duration nerfed to two turns when it should be one minute.
Why do they hate control effects so much? These spells are already competing for the slot with Fireball. Why isn't Fireball nerfed to 5d6 then?
+1
Maybe they hate it because of how it might affect the party if used by the AI?
Thats why Stinking Cloud and Hypnotic Pattern require concentration in 5e. Perhaps they should teach the player to target concentrating enemy casters instead of nerfing an entire archetype to oblivion. Or just give enemies less control spells.
As a side note, they could also put more spellcasters in encounters in Tactician rather than giving enemies fire and push arrows and barrels. Add challenge from having to deal with (non-nerfed) control spells.
