[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5659756, member: 82106"] There wasn't a school of illusion at the time... Beyond that? I don't even recall the details of the old Chromatic Orb particularly. I wouldn't call it one of the real iconic spells from AD&D. I mean there were a lot of spells in AD&D, if you're going to make the names of every one of them sacrosanct, that's a lot of good power names. I'd think it would be better to make a short list. Probably the names of spells I can actually remember the effect of would be a good start. Beyond that I'd say yeah, they are going to end up with whichever modern Arcane class best fits. That might not be exactly the same as whatever one it was in 1977. For that matter many spells (entire lists actually) were eliminated in 2e, and numerous spells were in more than one list. It can be hard to say exactly what class some of them should 'classically' belong to. Oh, no, not really. Never really made the mistake of inviting them to my table... [/QUOTE]
