Message: <blockquote data-quote="Particle_Man" data-source="post: 820545" data-attributes="member: 892">anyone?  anyone?Hmmm...no reply yet...1) Would it help if I posted this to a different forum?  Which one would be appropriate?2) Would it be ok or a terrible no-no to post the spell Alter Reality in its entirety?  I understand the need for clarity to give a fair analysis of the spell, but I don't want to break any rules if I can help it.3) I have broken down the types of spells that Alter Reality MIGHT affect (imho) into groups.  Maybe people can help answer part of the question, if not all of it:a) Plain old figments (Silent Image, Minor Image, etc.).  b) Phantasms (Phantasmal Killer, Dream, etc.)c) Simulacrum (does it go up to 80% hp, memories, etc.?)d) Copies of you.  (Mirror Image, Mislead)(does the created figment of you gain reality?  Is this a cheap form of project image, if so?)e) Shadow spells (this one seems easiest.  Just bump up the percentages of reality to 80%).My current theory is to say that in case a), there is an affect only if the illusion is of something replicable by an evocation or conjuration spell at least one level lower than the illusion.  Although an argument could be made for allowing duplicated spells to be equal in level to the illusion (since Alter Reality is a 9th level spell, and one has to cast another illusion spell to have Alter Reality "do" anything).In case b), I am torn.  But I think it would be too powerful to give a phantasmal killer an 80% chance to kill you (fort save or die), even if you make the will save.c) Seems easy enough. Although maybe only give it the hp boost, as it gaining/losing your memories and abilities might be too complicated.d) Huge headache!  Do they just get hp?  Do they get nothing?  Can they cast spells?  Can you cast spells through them?  Do 'their' spells, when cast, subtract from your spells castable per day?Anyhow, your thoughts?  For the record, Alter Reality was once the name of a 1st edition 7th level illusionist spell (back then, illusionists could not cast 8th or 9th level spells at all).  Back then, it duplicated Limited Wish, but one had to cast an illusion (like major image) of what one wished for.  This current model is a 9th level spell, and seems like a "spell-buff" spell.  I like the concept, although it runs into adjudication problems (hence this post).</blockquote>
