Heckler said:I'm thinking Merciful is a bit weaker, as it is still suceptable to resistances.
The latter. That way, we don't suddenly wake up to an Enworld with Warforged Soulborns, Goliath Truenamers, Neanderthal Samurai and Illumian Binder/Favored Soul/Divine Mind/Knight...s if the unlikely should happen.Rae ArdGaoth said:I vote YES to the first three, but I'm not sure what you mean by the fourth. Updates meaning, erratta? Or like the Complete Divine being added to the SRD as a separate section, for some mysterious reason? If it's the latter, I agree with you; if it's the former, I don't.
Merciful Spell is for knocking out people with a mercyful blade barrier, Subdual Substitution is for knocking out red dragons with a subdual fireball?Velmont said:Merciful can be applied to some spell that subdual couldn't. Examples: Spiritual Weapons, Magic Missiles, Vampiric Touch (In that case, it would probably heal subdual damage only) to name only them.
