Where does the idea that casters have to be immobile come from ?
Are casters feet magnetized to the ground when they cast a spell ?
What is wrong with casting while moving ?
It's something I've grown accustomed to ;) And for full disclosure, I was also confused. Good rule of thumb: in English, you only capitalize the first letter of a word if it's a name (other than the beginning of a sentence, obviously). So lore = story, but Lore = me. Hooray! |

Titles are names, yo. |

More to the topic, though, I think the concept largely stems from the idea that casting a spell takes an extreme amount of concentration. Imagine, for example, a chef preparing a meal and chopping up a bunch of potatoes or something. Now imagine him doing it at a brisk jog. Somehow that seems... unsafe, at best :P
Obviously there are gameplay reasons why a spell would be castable while moving, but even then, one could argue that part of the "strength" of that spell is the ability to do so. Maybe a Lightning Bolt is fairly easy for a Shaman to cast while standing still, but it takes a lot of focus to be able to fire one off while running. |
