What Happened to the Sticks to Snakes Spell?

[Dr_Rictus]

Sticks to Snakes was converted in Dragon# 317, as part of a Silicon Sorcery article. That's the only instance of the spell in 3E rules I am aware of.

I believe it also shows up as a spell-like ability for the Yuan-Ti cultist PrC in Savage Species.

Yes, you are correct - it's there, as an ability at second level.

Whoa, I had totally forgotten the 1E wackiness of measuring everything in scale inches. I feel so old.

Wait another year or two and I suspect that's how they'll be doing it all over again (witness the dual-measurement of speeds in feet and squates in 3.5).

Since the summon monster series of spells enables a cleric to summon vipers and constrictors at various levels, sticks to snakes is superfluous in my view.

Yeah, but StS was more fun to some people

Has it been erradicated from third edition?

In third edition, nothing sticks to a snake.

(Yes, bad joke, but a friend of mine once DM'd a player who couldn't understand that spell -- he wondered why you would want to stick to a snake??)

Which people? The ones that can't just say "I cast sticks about the ground and turn them to snakes!" when they cast summon nature's ally 3?

That'd be the ones who want to make snakes out of other people's sticks. Ain't no summon nature's ally spell going to do that.

I believe there's a conversion in the Player's Guide to Arcanis too.
