[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2233843, member: 23094"] On the other hand, darned if my Wizard doesn't know both the Blink spell [b]and[/b] the Magic Missile spell, and darned if he don't have +14 bonus when it comes to Spellcraft. You'd think he'd be aware of a pretty basic level of interaction between his spells. Do we know that the above is the case in the case presented? No. But then, we don't know that it isn't, either. Besides, the Wizard in question should have allowed to look at the blinking opponent, make a Spellcraft check of : and say, "Yes, that's actually a stock Blink spell," or, "Hmmm - that looks like a normal Blink spell, but it's slightly different," or, "I have no idea what's going on there," depending on the roll and what the DM actually had going on. Changing the spell mid-game is a pretty poor solution, assuming that we are talking of a stock Blink spell and a stock Magic Missile spell. DMs are quite often wrong. That doesn't mean that they aren't wrong for a deliberate reason - or through making a mistake - but it doesn't make them suddenly correct. [/QUOTE]
