What are your "Problem Spells"?

That FAQ answer makes no sense.

"In spite of what the sentence in the third paragraph of each spell says..."

Essentially, "To understand Balsphemy, you have to ignore the spell description of Blasphemy."

It's an "invisible creatures can't provide flanking bonuses" answer.

Isn't that grand?

If you've never read Stephen Brust's Vlad Taltos novels (Jhereg, Yendi, etc). Then you should.

Seconded. Thirded. Fourthed. And fifthed. For gawds sake, read these books.

Aside from this, Brust's settings also cover everythign from full scale war (armies and all), to one on one combat, to assassinations and theiveries. In detail. They really do make a good model This particular setting also is experiencing a 'boost' in power level of magic (the difference between Jhereg vs. The Phoenix guards which is set a good millenia earlier). This means a lot of the details that have come up in this thread are actually being considered by the characters in the books as well.
