Message: <blockquote data-quote="James McMurray" data-source="post: 247949" data-attributes="member: 743">Just a little nitpick, silent spell and Hide spell are far from equivelent. The act of casting a hidden spell can still be heard, as it still requires verbal components. The sounds created from a silent spell can still be heard, as that feat only removes the audible section of spellcasting. If you want to truly remain hard to locate with spellcasting, you would have to use a silent hidden spell. Unless that creature has some form of teleportation, which many creatures fought at that level do. Also, you can't harm the creature in the sphere, so all you've done is use a 6th level slot to disable him temporarily. Compared to Hold Monster (allows a save, but you get to kill the guy if he fails) or Bigby's forceful hand (holds people back and is breakable, but you still get to attack them) it seems balanced to me.And its an 8th level spell. The fact taht it is invisible does not stop you from leaving it. Simply move your full speed in any one direction and likely you will break free. also, being invisible, your allies cannot see it, so must be careful not to blunder into it.Not too ahsbby for a 10th level spell slot. (11th for Druids).and if you don't have better things to do with your 4th level spell slots than deal 2d4 damage per round, you might want to learn some better spells.For a 6th level spell slot. Other 6th level spells include Harm (more powerful than a hidden holy smite) and Geas / Quest (more powerful than holy smite).Neither of those allow saves.See holy smite aboveWill saveThat slot could also be filled with Prismatic Sphere (Sun Domain) or Shapechange (Druid) or Elemental Swarm (druid). Seems balanced to me.Not too shaby for a 10th level spellA 6th level spell that removes your foe from combat for 1-2 rounds? Go for it. It is extremely easy to hack through. Also, if your foe is taller than 3' + 1' per level, its too big to capture.</blockquote>
