Its from Polyhedron and latter included in the Wizards Compendium.Rings no bells, I’m afraid.
This is part of why I like the idea of rituals so much. "Spells" in the form of slots and the like? That at least kinda-sorta makes sense as a form of magic that needs to happen fast, so of course it's all prepped and ready ahead of time.As weird as the spell aunty's bath is, I really liked the inclusion of spells like these. I assumed there'd be plenty of these types of spells created by wizards that spent little, if any, time adventuring.
FYI, mundane soapy water can have detrimental effects on arthropods, worms, etc., as well as plants.
Adding Rituals were one thing I definitely applauded. I’m not sure they’ve ever gotten it right, but it’s something I always thought the game was missing to that point.This is part of why I like the idea of rituals so much.
I think this shows a type of mismatch between the play context in which the class was designed - in which players would explore the dungeon, then set their own goals for return expeditions and choose spell load-outs to match those (as Gygax describes in his PHB advice to players) - and contemporary approaches to play, which often emphasise GM control over what it is that the PCs encounter, thus generating the "guess" aspect that you describe.2) Prep Casting
In stead of just having your spells, you have homework each game day in which you try to guess what the DM is going to throw at you and react to that.
Then I guess cribbing from Warhammer Fantasy is out of the question for you too...Based on the reference to "corruption rolls," no, I don't think that would be up my alley.
That would be correct, yes.Then I guess cribbing from Warhammer Fantasy is out of the question for you too...
There are many otherwise excellent tabletop roleplaying games out there that I refuse to touch so long as they have corruption rolls for magic.That would be correct, yes.
That's the one, thanks! It actually has a lot of potential uses; 2000 gallons of soapy water for an hour can cause a lot of chaos, especially if that can be spread out over an area as a thin layer, mess with sight lines, remove stench coatings from monsters, etc. Good vs aboleth slime!
