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

[Anubis the Doomseer]

Would make more sense if they (Rogues) gained Hide in Plain Sight at high level.

 

[ForceUser]

Would make more sense if they (Rogues) gained Hide in Plain Sight at high level.

I would prefer if they had not given RANGERS of all classes Hide in Plain Sight, and left it as a special, cool prestige class ability of Shadowdancers.

 

[Plane Sailing]

Sleep: Casting time 1 full round. Affects 4 HD of creatures.

Phew, I'm glad they reigned in the power of sleep. The ability to affect 4-16 1HD creatures with no saving throw (or even a single ogre with no saving throw) was just too powerful.

Oh, wait, that was the 1e version of sleep.

I wonder why they reduced the number affected *and* made it a full round action?

Perhaps because it was the equivalent of a death spell on everyone affected if they could be CDG'd?

enervation

any changes to enervation? was wondering if there is a save involved now...

 

[Old Gumphrey]

no.

I distinctly remember reading on this site that enervation does not get a save. I think it was in that really long thread with ShadowStar answering questions with his 3.5 PHB that he had nabbed.

 

[JoeBlank]

Can you give us the details of the changes to Alter Self?

Thanks.

Re: improved invisibility

--at last a good 2nd level damaging spell!!
Scorching Ray: lvl sor/wiz 2 --ranged touch att --close range
1 ray + 1 ray per 3 levels, max of 3 rays -- 4d6 damage fire per ray

Wait a minute... is that "per 3 levels above 3rd" (where you can start casting it), or is it "per 3 levels", period? In the latter case, it would inflict a mighty 8d6 damage as a 2nd level spell cast by a 3rd level caster... now THAT's a powerful spell. Probably too powerful.

Is this a replacement for Flame Arrow? And if not, how have they changed Flame Arrow to be better than this one? Because even with the weaker interpretation, this probably does more damage than 3.0 Flame Arrow.

 

[Kershek]

Andy mentioned there is a 5th level fly spell that has a longer duration. Can you post that one?

"plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd"
