[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 5135017, member: 22103"] Good question Eric. I've mentioned this Wulf a while back. Ideally, development on spells would be happening in parallel with monsters but that's not really possible because of the pesky thing known as real-life. :p I've gone through every single creature in the SRD and overall, there should be very limit impact, even if some of the spells do get a significant overhaul. First off, for creatures with spellcasting ability or spell-like abilities, there's no change at all. They'll use the listed spell, whatever the rules for that spell may be. It gets a little trickier for creatures that have supernatural abilities that emulate specific spells but with some variation. The aboleth's enslave ability or an angel's protective aura are examples of these. That said, I think I have a pretty solid handle on which abilities could potentially be affected by a spell rewrite. Moving forward, I think we (Wulf and I) would try to minimize any cascading changes. I'm certainly writing the monster book under that assumption. [/QUOTE]
