[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 910930, member: 317"] After reading several threads and noting the outcry over the changes to several spells in 3.5, I was wondering what the ENWorld community thought of these changes, and how they correlated with what edition of D&D you began playing? To summarize what we know: * Buff spells like Bull's Strength have a 1 min/level duration, and bestow a +4 enhancement bonus * Polymorph Self has a 1 min/level duration now * Disintigrate is no longer an instant-kill spell, now inflicting something along the lines of 4d6 per caster level on a failed save, or much less on a successful save. * Stoneskin is DR 10/adamantite * Haste no longer allows casters to cast two spells per round- it is purely extra move or extra physical actions. * Hold Person allows a save every round to break it * Harm does 10 hps/level of damage on a failed save My question is: [B]What do you think of these changes, and under what edition did you start playing D&D?[/B] Edit: Added Hold Person and Harm info [/QUOTE]
