The Grand Unified Spell Thread

Jenner's Minor Ray: What advantages does it have over Magic Missile? Other than the fact that MM is stopped by shield and that at second level it does d4+2 vs. MM's d4+1, it seems that MM is the better choice: its damage scales quicker on balance and has a higher cap, and it is more likely to hit (guaranteed compared to ranged touch with a +20)

I'm betting it's good because you can critical, sneak attack, and use feats on a ray.

Galbraith's Intellectual Disdain

Early on in the thread you identified this spell as your "baby" and was disappointed that no one had commented on it. I don't know about balance, I don't know about playability, I don't care! My wizards want it! For the most part, they're all intellectual snobs and would love to have this little gem to prevent all the lesser mortals from pestering them. Might hafta rework it a bit, but it's a hoot! This is immediately going into the spellbook of "Ol' Pointy Ears," that recluse in the Gift Wood! I love it. Thanks.
