[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1857823, member: 11300"] I would actually disagree and say the former. As per Close Range for how far the object or volume is to be "sympathised". As for the range for sympathy, I like it vague. In this way, it's a DM's call. If they are truly epic casters (100th level?) then yeah, they can most likely depopulate a nearby continent. For most however, doing it on a particular item may augment the effect (for example the statue of a significant hero, a sacred object and so forth). In general, I suppose you could say "for all those affected in the vicinity". How big's the vicinity? A small dungeon, a block of a ward of a city etc. etc. would seem suitable given the saves. The spell reeks of cool. I wouldn't think so except for a little will save and spell resistance check. Think about it, it could be like the "drug of choice" for high level wizards looking for a hit. :D Best Regards Herremann the Wise PS: Hong. Nice to finally respond to a post of yours. Hope you are having a nice day. If you are of a mind, have a read of my [PIMP] Story Hour [PIMP]. I would appreciate some of your 'famous' critique. [/QUOTE]
