Wall of Force -- ambiguous description can cause problems.  No save means you can put up a hemispherical wall around foes without problem?6thNo problems here7th1. Simulacrum -- what the hell were they smoking when they made this spell?  Lawyers could have a field day with this one.8thNo problems here9th1. Gate -- who wouldn't take this spell w/o house-rules?2. Time Stop -- see Gate.3. Shapechange -- see Gate.4. Hide Life -- spell description should read as follows:For 5000 xp, you become immune to everything with the following exceptions:1) Sphere of Annihilation2) Imprisonment spell3) Temporal Stasis spell4) Trap the Soul spell5) Petrification</blockquote>
