D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Spells (New & Changes)

[Tharizdun]

Invisibility: Duration has changed from 10 minutes/level to 1 minute per level

Horrid Wilting: Damage cap is now 20d6 /20d8

Temporal Stasis: 9th -> 8th level

monk's move bonus does NOT stack with haste, boots of str & springing (they are all enhancement bonusses)


Perhaps a good thing...from the perspective of a DM....

I've been increasing durations for many spells that have changed back to previous levels. I'll probably do the same with this spell since 1 minute per level reduces it to a semi-useful scouting spell with an emphasis on combat.

I personally think the change to a 1 minute duration was mostly for common campaigns. In our campaigns, we are very good about keeping track of durations and time. The ten minute duration was never much of an issue.

I kinda like this - one less rogue skill that can be replaced with a single 2nd-level spell (Like Alter Self with regards to Climb, Jump, Disguise and Swim).

[3.5] More on 3.5 spells

The listing has somewhat changed;
for example
Lesser planar binding, planar binding and greater PB are now grouped as:

Planar Binding
Planar Binding, Greater
Planar Binding, Lesser


Enlarge --> Enlarge Person

It basically comes down to the fact that the humanoid creature doubles in heigth, weight becomes 8 times greater.
+2 size enhancement on STR, -1 size penalty on AC, -2 size penalty on DEX, the creature becomes the next size category, including reach

Deep Slumber: 3rd Wiz/Sor/Brd spell like sleep, except 10 HD are affected

Simulacrum: limited to 2ce your levels or hit dice. And the gp cost is 100 gp powdered ruby per HD, XP cost: 100 XP per HD, with a minimum of 1000 XP

Ice storm: (also posted in another thread):

I'll summon up the changes only!!!
Level: DR4 (used to be 5)

Duration: 1 full round (used to be instantaneous)

More text in the spell's description:
-4 penalty check to listening in the area of effect, all land movement is halved for the entire duration.

At the end the hail dissapears, leaving no after effects except the damage dealt.

Hong, would you care to explain your dislike for the change to Temporal Stasis?

 

[Plane Sailing]

For non-epic campaigns (i.e. standard ones) there wasn't really a reason to have damage caps > 20d6 anyway.

 

[green slime]

I would presume the damage listing is to lay the foundation prior to releasing/including the ELH in the SRD
