[QUOTE="ZSutherland, post: 1909440, member: 7638"] Shallown, thanks again for the critique. Tweaked Touch of Pain such that it no longer requires a Concentration check for skill checks and lowered the bonus on the Concentration DC to +2 instead of +4. I think it's considerably less powerful than bestow curse since it doesn't allow you the options that spell does and can be dispelled or waited out instead of requiring a higher level spell fix such as remove curse. Admittedly, it may last longer than a single combat at higher levels, but it will wear off, and it impedes spell casting much less than a -6 to your casting stat would. Ferret - Thanks for the pointers. I'm glad you like Phantasmal Foes. Feel free to snag it. I clarified the wording some on Evenwood's Everlasting Effluence. The intent of the spell is that any amount of liquid not consumed at the spells end disappears no matter where it went to prevent low level wizards from setting up overly profitable wine shops. ;) See if the new description clarifies that. I also added a line to Reflective Sphere about communication and spell-casting. As for Sabrella's Siren Song, what makes you feel it is overpowered? It is higher level than sleep, and though it has no HD cap like sleep, it only affects one creature and doesn't leave them helpless like sleep will. In many ways its less powerful directly, but it allows for some clever uses, such as walking the target over a trigger plate on a trap or a silent image covering a pit trap. As for Spike Skin, what makes you feel it should be personal? Do you see some way it could be abused, as it is? Please let me know, and I'll take your comments under advisement. Z [/QUOTE]
