[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 3460317, member: 4881"] To answer the original question posed ... "No spell resistance vs. Orb spells? Why?" ... the answer is (without much argument) "Because they are conjuration spells". You would have to go to the original designer to get a definitive answer, but that is probably the logic behind them not having SR. The question CAN have an answer that is the right answer. To answer the following questions.... 1. Should the orb spells be conjuration? 2. Should the orb spells have SR? 3. Are the orb spells overpowered? 3. How can I fix the orb spells? ..... You can really only supply an opinion. No matter how much math you provide, or how many builds or scenarios you pose for or against the orb spells, the end result is that you are just supporting an opinion. My opinion (based on the facts that I am playing a warmage in an Age of Worms campaign) is no,no,no,n/a to those four questions. My opinion cannot be wrong. Your opinion cannot be wrong. You can certainly try to change someones opinion, but you cannot PROVE an opinion correct or incorrect. I base my opinion on first hand experience. I very rarely outgun the party fighter in damage in combat. The party fighter generally kills more things in combat than my warmage. We are both the same level. This is with me using the orb spells as written. Therefore, to me, they do not seem overpowered. DS [/QUOTE]
