I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but i am only looking for responses from people who agree with me and have done something about it along the lines of what i described above.  i am not looking for a discussion in this thread on whether i am right or wrong.  you can fork to another thread for that if you like.  we are playing tomorrow and i just want to get the proposed rule changes written up before then.also, if anyone has any AD&D wizard spells that they converted to 3.x because they weren't included in any 3.x core books, please feel free to post them here.thx</blockquote>
