[QUOTE="Felon, post: 1436986, member: 8158"] Notice that the majority of the opinions expressed don't sound like they're from people who have actually used them but rather from folks who are just eyeballing your one-sentence summaries of how they work and saying "I'd never allow that" or "I'd allow it, but I'd make it 7th level". I've DM'ed a campaign where all of the spells from the Minis Handbook is allowed, and by and large they are both useful and balanced. Here's what experience has demonstrated: [b]Baleful Transposition[/b]--Great spell, because it leads to some very interesting tactics. I'd be more worried about [I]web[/I] being too powerful than BT.
