[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9583667, member: 42856"] Since you get dibs at ranting, I'll wait for your commentary before reacting to the former section. So basically, when starting his training 5 years ago, he decided to write on his first spellbook "Book of Lesser Spells". Usually, students are very proud of their relatively small academic achievements. Carr would most probably have titled his basic spellbook the Book of Almighty Spells. Using a spellbook as a scroll seems like the worst possible allocation of resources. That's really a WIS 3 idea, so Carr is acting consistently so far. Too bad it's OUR Carr and we need to assume paternity for him... [I][/I] There are some spells I think should be hire level that you postulate. A spell that makes someone like Carr is either Baleful Polymorph or Feeblemind. I assume those are higher than 1st level. Magic missile is usually described as firing dart-like missiles. Having them be torpedo-like reminds me more of Meteor Swarm. Because people are better defended when hanging from the ceiling. This is a UTILITY spell, Carr, not a defensive spell. His spellbook is a mess! I'd surmise this is a level 0 trick since it does absolutely nothing. Mass isn't a factor when describing the free fall of an object. You could argue about the drag from air slowing the fall to terminal velocity, but I'll counter by saying that drag is like convection: it doesn't exist in fantasy settings. Mage armour in the days of yore and AD&D was useless against bashing damage? So Rufyl can moves around freely through the portal. Well, if our cloak casts Deep Pockets and Read Magic constantly, why not don the cloak and translate ALL of our father's magical code that have eluded us for the last five years? Is the free hut too warmed by the hot fireplace to wear your coat? GO STUDY OUTSIDE IF THAT'S THE CASE !!!1! [I][/I] Boeing-to-Airbus communication is a nice feature. [/QUOTE]
