[QUOTE="Simulacrum, post: 382609, member: 7749"] 1. YOu cant counterspell dispel magic nor greater dispelling not even with a ring of counterspells. Read the DnD FAQ This means that your ass gets burned quickly after the first few of them got lose. ......................... Polymorph is cool, I prefer the Large Red Dragon or the Firegiant to mash up my foes. It's still not that powerful. As a dragon for example you cant cast spells anymore, and your items become unusable. And the new version of the spell is pretty balanced. Only one change ---> and back to the old form. Haste is countered by slow...finito. You cant counter a counterspell remember? Thats the whole trick just declare it as counterspell action. I'm playing FR, and I'm pretty sure to have balanced most of the game without changing to many rules. First thing I did was declaring that in this special world nearly 50% of the population has potential to become a hero. Official game rules state "every 100th person is a spellcaster/user of some sort" does this say all? Netherese empire says it all...doesnt it? - First thing that I realized is how powerful and essential Dispelling and counterspelling is. It's much more important to rely on that than actually cast spells on your own. Related Feats are very essential for every mage/sorcerer. Without them you can bury yourself on higher levels. Typical scenario in our campaing is overunning spellcasters with henchmen and followers while the cleric and the mage (sometimes even some hired ones) Counterspell and Dispel the hell out of the enemy. That makes combats often very nice and balanced. - I invented a new feat -> Focused Dispell (+2caster level check) But removed it as it became obvious that just everyone would take it. [/QUOTE]
