[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 1879129, member: 284"] I'm not saying this to be offensive, or to belittle your point of view. Dragon Magazine does not have any more credibility than anyone else here on EN World. None of the articles are reviewed by WOTC R&D. They are reviewed by the editors of the magazine, which is no longer directly affiliated with WOTC. All the articles in the magazine is optional rules submitted by the players. That would be people like you and me, and everyone else here at EN World. However, the articles do not received the kind of intensive review that the people here at EN world would give it. Simply because of there are less people at the magazine that here at EN World. The only part of the magazine which can be considered to have weight is whatever part of Sage Advice makes it into the FAQ. (And the FAQ has it's own set of issues and contradictions.) I use stuff from Dragon Magazine all the time, but I recognize it for what it is: House Rules that have not yet been playtested on a large scale. I don't consider the spells and feats from the magazine to be the yardstick for comparing core spells or feats. And as I said before, the default behavior of the spell is that the disc accompanies you. But, the spell gives you the option of directing the disc to do something else. Nothing game breaking, nothing to powerful. [/QUOTE]
