[QUOTE="RisnDevil, post: 2837415, member: 15160"] First of all, I would like to second the request to repost your older spells. There was some real quality work there! Moving on to this batch of spells. Although I agree with Tales of the Skull feeling metagamey, so what? Instead of trieing to pretend it's not, just leave the spell as it is. The only area the sugested revision is less metagamey is by not being exact on the stats, and really, who cares? I think Preserve Skull should be an 0th level spell. Although I understand by preserving the skulls it makes alot of the other spells capable, I think on its own right it does not warrant a 1st level spell. I think to simplify Lore of the Dead it should be changed to just give a flat synergy bonus to skills, even if you do not already have ranks in it. Not sure just what formula to use, but I think that would be better. Plus, if you drop Preserve Skull to 0th level, and make the change I propose, I think Lore of the Dead could become a 1st level spell. The other spells look good to me, but I say make a capstone 9th level spell that allows the skull to regain some level of the class features it had in life. Just my $0.02. Once again, good job Clay!
