[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1240921, member: 5171"] Felon, I don't see how "I disagree with his assessment" means "vague and flaccid". I [b]can[/b] see other uses for, say, baleful polymorph. It's a great curse to slap onto a captured opponent that one has sworn not to kill, for example. It serves a wonderful plot purpose. Some high-level death-type incantation could be a way to kill a creature that cannot be permanently killed by any other method -- so the arcanists start the ceremony, and the hunters go out and do their best to drag the creature back. Perfect? Oh, gosh no. Would I like to see rules for increasing the range of the spell or using some sorta other delivery system? Oh, gosh yes. But it's an answer worth disagreeing with in intelligent commentary, rather than just calling him vague and flaccid. I believe that I've disagreed with enough rulings to have established myself as "not just a Charles Ryan fanboy", but really, there's no need to be insulting just to get your jollies off. Or, possibly, there is. Which is sad. But hey, mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
