D&D 3E/3.5 Comparing spell between 3.0 and 3.5

[johnloyzd]

Couple of my buddies wanted to know what was different with the 3.5 spell and 3.0, so I mafe a list. If any one is interested:

It's not that detailed, just something to help people out.

Welcome to the boards, johnloyzd - and if you get a great number of people showering you with praise over this list, don't be surprised. VERY nice.

Indeed, very nice list.

Some corrections, though.

-You have the change for "Burning Hands" that it was originally 2nd level. It's always been 1st level, it just used to be transmutation.

-You have 3.0 Bestow Curse listed as "changed to transmutation", but it was changed to necromancy.

- 3.5 Animate dead's change should read "Originally 5th level", not 4th level.

I'll definately be bookmarking that list...

Yes, that is very nifty, thanks for that.

Really clarifies how many changes they made to the spell list with 3.5 -- way more changes that at any time since original D&D.

One subtle but significant change you missed--Feeblemind no longer inflicts a -4 penalty on the save for creatures with spell like abilities that mimic arcane spells. They need to actually cast them. This makes most demons and devils significantly less vulnerable to the spell than they were in 3.0

I haven't checked the whole lists, but one thing I was noticing I few days ago is that they removed Spell Resistance from every spell with the Acid descriptor. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I didn't notice differences in the other energy-damaging spells, so it seems to be made on purpose...

I noticed that enchantment wasn't given the same treatment as the rest of the school titles, meaning it isn't the same layout as the rest.

For the rest great list... very handy to discern which version I'm going to use.

edit: this goesd for the wizard/sorcerer spell list, I haven't checked the rest.

I think they removed SR from every spell from the _Conjuration_ school. It so happens that every (?) acid spell in the PHB also happens to be Conjuration.
