Comparing to real complications, consider a battle cleric, such as played
by a friend of mine and as I've tried some myself. During combat, while
you're hitting and perhaps being hit, you have to keep an eye everyone's
health and if someone is getting too low, target, cast, then return to the
target you were hitting. Make that worse by using your own damage spells
sometimes, balancing that against potentially vital healing. And you get
to decide what's "too low."

Makes playing a bard and twisting songs seem easy.
