Harm Houserule? What and Where?

[blackshirt5]

Basically, the subject line says it all. I've looked over the harm spell, it's way too overpowered for my game, and I've heard talk of a harm houserule, wanted to know what it was or, barring that, where to find it.

I just set a damage cap to it in IMC. I think it was 60 hps (or was 100? hmm).

i think the harm spell deserves its own website at this point ... or at the very least its own forum!

I think the general consensus on Harm is that it's fine if you allow a Fort save to negate. Another alternative is if you make a Fort save, you only loose half of your current remaining HP's and drop to 1d4 if you fail.

That's what I use, but I give a Will Save to keep it in line with the Inflict spells (as that's the closest "cousin" to harm).
