Golem Crusher
[...]The damage can only effect golems.

Just golems or all constructs?

(also, in Hand of fate, when you roll a "2" you affect both dex and con, whereas the "3" is absent)

[the Jester]

Geez, las! You got it goin' on here!

I have a huge list of homebrewed/converted spells as well, mostly a little odd (wall of honey, delicious aroma, omnivore, etc). Spells are one of the greatest things- it's not too difficult to make a new one, and it adds a lot of flavor to the campaign when most wizards or sorcerers have a few the pcs haven't seen before! Plus, if they hang with Marius the chronomancer and then get the 'Marius' spells (M's moment, M's sidestep, M's double actions, etc) they feel a connection to the campaign- "Hey, we know the guy who made that spell!"

 

[Ferret]

That spell is way cool. Thats the kinda stuff a hard core evoker would be pround of!

I wouldn't agree on the tips about your first spell, all spell levels are precarious, 0th maybe more so. This is because of the balance between save resistance and damage.

 

[las]

Thats another reson to make a 0 level first. Its means people will learn to look for balance in every level.

Kimber’s Icy Rain
Evocation [Cold]

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Two targets/round
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round/level

The caster call down cold energy that forms large drops of cold rain. For each round the caster concentrates, she targets two creatures, structers, or objects with a drop of cold rain that causes 1d8 points of cold damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8 ); a Reflex save halves the damage. The caster can target different subjects each round or the same subjects over and over. The caster, however, cannot target the same subject with both cold drops at the same time in the same round

Whats about these three.

 

[kreynolds]

I think both of these should have the area descriptor instead of range.

If this spell fails to effect any creature with spell resistance the spell ends.

I think this is unneccessary for both versions. The spells look great otherwise. Keep it up!
