[QUOTE="Bihor, post: 1910283, member: 5079"] Lets take a look at the changes they made in the free update booklet. CHANGES TO SPELL SCHOOL Spell Old New Bestow Curse Trans Necro As writen should't have change, maybe with flavor text Bless Weapon Trans Necro see Curse Water Burning Hands Trans Evoc this should have been Curse Water Trans Necro Evil trans becomes necro = stupid Detect Magic Univ Div see the below Dimension Door Trans Conj see the below (why not call it lesser teleport Eyebite Trans Necro good change Flame Arrow Conj Trans good with text, should have new spell Fiery Bolts Heroes’ Feast Evoc Conj good Mark of Justice Trans Necro Like Bestow Curse Plane Shift Trans Conj see the below Power Word Blind Conj Ench with new text look good Power Word Kill Conj Ench with new text look good Power Word Stun Conj Ench with new text look good Prayer Conj Ench luck bonus should't be Ench Mind-Affecting Purify Food and Drink Univ Trans good Ray of Frost Conj Evoc good Read Magic Univ Div see below Symbol of Death Univ Necro see below Symbol of Fear Univ Necro Mind-Affecting necro = strange Symbol of Insanity Univ Ench see below Symbol of Pain Univ Necro see below Symbol of Persuasion Univ Ench see below Symbol of Sleep Univ Ench see below Symbol of Stunning Univ Ench see below Teleport Trans Conj see below Teleport Object Trans Conj see below Teleport, Greater Trans Conj see below Teleportation Circle Trans Conj see below Tree Stride Trans Conj could be trans by changing the tree Word of Recall Trans Conj see below -The teleport spell should have been conj. in the fist place, so no argument here. -The univ. becoming divination like read magic, where univ. because of the old rule for specialisation. - Symbol spells is a good change but a mind affecting spell chould not be necro but ench. -I don't know why is word of chaos is different from them. So in general, the basic changes are good but this is only 31 spell, and it dind't take into acount the new spells or the boost boo... oups class books, and the biggest changes where made in changing most of the spell description (which I think it's stupid and a waste of time for wizard of the coast). They did most of the changes, to go with the new specialation rule, but I don't like it. I prefer the rules to balance the schools in the bad axe heroes of high favor: Elf. And I like the idea of puting descriptor in schools that don't have any. In the end, I'm gonna try to look at all the spell and see if the change is needed or stay with the 3.0 description. (I got a lot of time) [/QUOTE]
