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

[Glyfair]

Another advantage, from my POV, is having the Wu Jen spells attached to other classes. One of the biggest gripes with Compete Arcane is how much of it focused on that one class, to the exclusion of others.

As for the orb spells, it looks like they are exact copies of the CA versions (no SR, Conjurations, and effects).

Fascinating.

Looks as if you liked that decision. You never thought that this hurts the evokers?

I think the No SR on Orb of Force is stupid... but I don't mind conjuration getting these particular spells. They're not really that good, and they fit conjuration better than evocation (as least I see it).

What I want are more evocation spells as well.

Cheers!

So, in order for me to have a complete, revised, fixed, and errata to all the spells listed in that book, I have to purchase it?

I own everyone of those sources mentioned, which means Spell Compendium is useless to me.

And now I have to buy it anyway just to play with the official fix to the spells within!? Are you kidding me!? That should be for free!

Having all the spells in all of those sources in one book will dramatically increase my usage of non-core spells. I just don't enjoy flipping through a dozen sourcebooks looking for different spells. Now I won't have to.

Then don't buy it.

Thanks for clarifying . Do you houserule them, or haven't those spells come up in your game yet?

Yes, it's time that the pendulum moves into the other direction again.

Now I am angry.

Did you buy some sort of maintenance contract that I'm not aware of?

Labor went into the revisions, and labor deserves to be paid for.

The errata (ie fixes for broken spells) is listed in various places for free, but updating older stuff isn't something they need to be footing the bill for, no matter how refined your sense of entitlement.

*chuckle* Because evokers were so in desparate need of more damage output ?

Evokers can basically do one thing. It's not nice when a different school, first, mirrors all evocation spells and, second, does so with even less penalties. This makes the school of evocation obsolete.

Having all the spells in one book is a big advantage, so I'll be getting it. (Mind you, as I don't get FR books, there should be quite a few new spells there).

Cheers!

Ditto.
