D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Noteworthy spell changes

[youspoonybard]

Alas! Fire Seeds and Flame Strike are down to d6's.

Oh well.

 

[Jin]

What's the new DR for Stoneskin?

 

[Darkness]

What's the new DR for Stoneskin?

10/adamantine.
And it still dissipates after preventing a certain amount of damage (10/caster level, maximum 150).

 

[Number47]

You forgot that Shapechange now gives the caster the Su abilities of the form. You can now change into a dragon and breathe, then change into a Beholder and hit opponants with eye rays or Anti-Magic. [not a fan of this change]

You can only do that if you cast Shapechange twice. The spell only allows a single form in 3.5.

Not true; 3rd para, 2nd sentence. (change as a free action, once per round).

 

[Caliban]

Ray of Enfeeblement doesn't grant a saving throw anymore.

Most conjuration spells now ignore SR. (acid splash, melf's acid arrow, grease, glitterdust, etc.)

Hmm; Extended Fire-Substituted Melf's acid arrow -- bane of ropers everywhere.

(Ropers, btw, now instantly regrow their strands (?!?), and are CR 12.)

 

[St. Kargoth]

Evard's Black Tentacles now 1 round/level an incredible grapple check bonus and immune to damage from everything.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Feeblemind now lets CHA drop to 1, too. Also, INT- and CHA-related skills can't be used anymore.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Flame Arrow now simply gives the flaming property to projectiles (+1d6), so no unlimited fiery bolts anymore... but the duration is up to 10 min / lvl

Forcecage now requires the material component at the time of casting, not during preparation of the spell. So finally sorcerers can cast it, too
