[QUOTE="lukelightning, post: 3075068, member: 9745"] I think there are a load of spells, particularly some old stand-bys, that need to be simplified or streamlined. For example, [i]web[/i] and [i]entangle[/i] can bring the game to a screeching halt as people look up all the various effects (let's see...what's the DC to get out? How fast can I move? How much cover?). I think the DC to break out of it should be related to the DC of the spell itself, not some arbitrary number. Similarly, [i]grease[/i] can be troublesome. I think balance checks and the balance skill should be chucked out of the game entirely and replaced with reflex saves. [i]Reincarnate[/i] needs work as well. What should be done about racial HD if you come back as a bugbear? Is there a LA modification for the spell, and how should it be handled? What should be done about human bonus feat and skill points? The various [i]planar binding[/i] spells are also too complex. The binding circle and dimensional anchor stuff should be part of the spell. The control of the creature should be a regular Will save, not some charisma check. What else needs work? [/QUOTE]
