[QUOTE="xiphumor, post: 8776470, member: 7033055"] Note that Faolyn’s versions are just the Gust, Control Flames, Mold Earth, and Shape Water cantrips from O5e, which are WotC’s IP. I am just going to bring up a few things that the more generic Shape Elements would allow as written, even if condensed into a 5 ft cube. - There’s no restriction on being able to see the element, so you could do things like suffocate someone or blind them by pulling the moisture out of their eyes. - Earth isn’t defined, so does stone count? Does metal? Can I blitz through most dungeons by just bulldozing my way through the walls? - Casting takes a minute, but how fast does the element move once it’s been cast? Can I quietly create a million tiny bullets for a minute and then unleash them? Could velocity carry them outside of the cube of my control? - Does the fire start doing normal amounts of damage when the spell ends? Could I condense an inferno into a mote and deal massive damage when someone steps on it accidentally? - How strong is a moderate wind? Can I use it as an air cushion when I fall? Can it block projectiles? How large of a thing can it push? How far? - Can I separate the air to create a vacuum to cause thunder damage? Can I rub the air against itself and generate static electricity? For such reasons, while I like the premise of shape elements, I think it needs to be defined more strictly if you’re going to make it an ability available to Level 1 players. [/QUOTE]
