[QUOTE="las, post: 1095508, member: 889"] Here they are My spell tips for all you spell makers out there. (these are the thing I follow when I make my spells): [list=1][*]format matters it might look like a hassle but it's worth it (your eyes will love you for it, trust me).[*]if the spell deals damage look at the chart in the DMG (page 95/96 for 3.0 and page 35 for 3.5) to get close to the level for that spell.[*]look at other spells like to one you have made to help place it even better.[*]post it like you did in every spell thread and such to get other peoples ideas it helps (over time you start to get good)[*]start small make a 0 level spell first (Zap was my first and it still has had some changes as I got better).[*]Make sure the spell you're creating is not already made. Check through every source of spells you have at your disposal to see if your spell is already made. I've seen it far too often a spell made that is exactly the same as another existing spell, but lower level with additional affects.[/list] Follow these 6 ideals on spells (5 is only for the first spell you make, the rest well just be carful) and you always get close to have a good spell at the start trust me it works.
