[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 527829, member: 1165"] Mord's Disjunction is broken, since it wreaks havoc with the treasure and CR system. If you're going to permanently destroy treasure, then you have permanently weakened your characters. If they have to keep back-up items at home, then 1) They're weaker, since they carry only half the gear they are supposed to carry. 2) What happens when they get their back-up gear, only to see it get hit by the same spell? Also note that RP penalties do not balance the spell. If forced to choose between getting the PC's treasure after he dies or stripping off their buffs and items now and winning (or at least surviving), the BBEG who can cast that spell will cast that spell. Plus, it's poorly designed. Who wants to go to the DMG and look up the caster level of every item? [i]Every[/i] item? Most PCs don't have the exact same small number of powerful items that the iconics have in Enemies and Allies. And furthermore, at what point in the sequence is your Cloak of Resistance +4 forced to save or destroyed? This is very important. ************************************************** Telekinesis can be broken oh so easily. [/QUOTE]
