[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 8778591, member: 59848"] Hey, everyone has there own table and how they play. But I still think it is a fair question to ask "what problem does this new mechanic solve," "what does this new mechanic add to the game that's not already there," and "are there other ways to more efficiently or effectively address the problem or achieve the desired effect." From my perspective, this doesn't need to be its own spell, but could rather be an additional effect added onto Animate Dead when cast at a higher level. That would both solve the problem (being able to target corpses that are not within line of sight) and the desired effect (having animated undead crawl up from the ground). I'm not the gaming police. But I also believe my critique has merit and is worth consideration. Sure, a person can create a whole new 4th level spell from scratch where they create a frost lance that they can launch up to 200 feet away that then explodes with ice shards in a 30 foot radius. There's no issue there. Or, they can just modify the Fireball spell to deal cold damage. [/QUOTE]
