[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 1264307, member: 4490"] Hrm, I might have spotted a design flaw in my spell. Heh, I'll look at it when I get home. If anyone else spots what i'm talking about feel free to post it in the meantime. Edit- Ok, so here is the design flaw. It stems from the SRD actually. Here is a paste of the Animal Subtype from the SRD. And here is the Speak with Animals Spell which I originally based this on. My original intent for the spell was for use with creatures that work only on instinct, like Oozes and maybe some Dire Monsters. But apparently the SRD makes it so that an Intelligence of 2, and even 1, lets you be smart enough to understand those concepts. Now, double checking with Ooze i see it LACKS intelligence all together and I see where my mistake was. I'm going to edit the spell so that it works on creatures with NO intelligence of all types. (I dont think I have to worry about constructs because they are typically immune to these spells anyway and are pre-programmed not to listen. They'll hear the command but may not follow up on it.) Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
