[QUOTE="Chosen of Mystra, post: 12187, member: 1817"] First of all I am so tired of seeing this or its equivalent on the boards. Who cares if the topic has been discussed. Some people are new, some people may have just gotten into DnD or d20 and just might have questions. Attitudes like that one are the kind that keeps the numbers of rolepaying faithful low. I encourage people to ask as many questions as they like and ask the same questions over and over, you know fresh perspectives are good things. Well now as it states in DnD books everywhere, The informationm presented in rulebooks and accessories are more guidlines than hard and fast rules and most interpretations are the domain of the DM. So in this case the DM would have to decide if the text in [B]Magic of Faerun[/B] means that the spell must be specificly designated to target you or if the wording "absorb a spell targeted at them" means that the Spellfire Wielder can just simply be in the AOE of the spell. If the latter were applied Spellfire would be quite useful. It is as it always is, up to the DM and the game you play in as they are all different. Now I disagree with this one completely. A wizard who has the option of wasting a 1st level spot at a low level to cast magic missle might prefer to use his spellfire ability on the chance (Reflex half DC20) that he can do a substantial amount of damage to a target. I thik Spellfire is a really good tool, especially for lower level users of the art. Evasion is not a guarantee I agree and disagree. Yes you will be hunted if you use your ability without care. Practitioners of the Art, especially those silly Thayan Wizards have always been curious to understand the nature of Spellfire. I do not think anything is indestructable and I don't think a Dracolich will shrug off 40d6 of Spellfire damage coming from a 20L SOR. As always Dungeons and Dragons is a game of interpretation and no ones opinion lack value. Some things might work well for some Dungeon Master and some things might not. This is on of those things that will be different for everyone. Ohhhh.... Raw magic power is greater than the Weave. The Weave is a resource of "refined magical power" But they are related, so the Shadow Weave idea would also be up to interpretation of the material presented in the books. But I have beat the point to the ground I think...... [/QUOTE]
