[QUOTE="fba827, post: 422550, member: 807"] Some favorites .... First off -- I have to say up front -- the game effect (visual/desired effect) for just about every spell and item in here is great!. Game mechanics to achieve these effects are also pretty good (some better than others, but over all, still good and nothing that can't easily be changed if needed) [i] note, I am only commenting on spells I have actually been able to see used in game at least twice [/i] Afflication - a very nasty spell to use against a PC - it became the spell on a scroll most used by a villan :-) (after the second use of it, the PCs were terrified just seeing someone whip out a scroll :D ) Earth Blast - i have been trying to get an effect similar to this for quite sometime.. this does it fairly cleanly. Enchant Spirit Doll and associated spells - so many possibilities here! Fanning the Flames - Malicious Image - feels so wicked, I love it :) was a little awkward when trying to use it the first time.. but the second time through he did, admitedly, play the unknown answers by ear. (This is not to say it isn't a good spell. after all, the more original the spell the more questions that are going to come up!) Scent of the Hunted - has such a good druid of revenge feel to it ... Sigil of Fire / Ice / Ooze - this reminds me of some undead in a video game (which one, I don't know). but "feels" cool none the less Stalkers Sight - fairly diversly applicable spell Summon (specific creature) - nice idea and saves the space of many individual summon spells and offers an option for those who don't like the PHB summon spells (short duration, etc). my only ongoing question is that this doesn't summon planer creatures but rather same-plane creatures (i.e. summons a rabbit rather than a celestial rabbit, that sort of thing). I was under the impression that the PHB summon spells were purposely planar creatures so that they would "reform/live on" even if killed on the prime plane. (course, I may just be missing some fact here) Talen's Counfounding Battlefield - this is the stuff confusion and chaos is made of... :D Again, the above are just ones that my game group has been able to use more than once so I've been able to see them in action... I'm sure over time several of these spells and magic items will make it to the group's list of favorites :D [/QUOTE]
