I've got the D&D Spell Compendium- Any questions?

[Gothmog]

What changes were made to the Orb spells (Orb of Force, Orb of Acid, etc.) from Complete Arcane? (Orb of Force was a conjuration that ignored SR. Go figure...)

From devinmdp on the Wizards boards:

Cheers!

Yep, all the changes you listed were made Merric. As for the orb spells, it looks like they are exact copies of the CA versions (no SR, Conjurations, and effects).

Fascinating.

Gothmog,

Thanks for that. Quite the list.

No sign of the Artifice domain at all, or is the Craft domain a replacement for Artifice (if you can compare, if you can't, don;t worry).

Thanks again for the info.

Cheers

Is the Balance domain about skill Balance or alignment balance?

 

[el-remmen]

Wow, an RPG book I might actually buy!

The original was about neutrality in the alignment sense (as I recall), but the one in the Spell Compendium may be revised.

Wow, the first D&D book in months I'll actually want to get?

So, Miasma got errataed in the reprint? Is it now something other than a "I win, you lose" spell? (that was the only official spell I ever outright banned from my games as "you gotta be kidding me")

You're welcome. No sign of the Artifice domain, and my book the artifice domain is in is buried right now, so I can't compare. I don't think its legal for me to retype the doman power and spells, but they look similar as far as I remember. So they might have renamed Artifice to Craft domain.

Gothmog,

I was not expecting a reprint. I could totally see them renaming the domain, as the Aritifice domain was basically about crafting to begin with.

Thanks again for the info.
