[QUOTE="Gorgoroth, post: 5943467, member: 6674889"] [b]it's[/b] easy to balance Invisibility, do it like Pathfinder did, make it 1 round or even 10 per level, rather than 24 hours like it was originally in AD&D. THAT was OP. Improved Invis I never used it, because my DM made higher level spells insanely expensive.

The rest of the cool utility ones I had a real hard time getting. THAT was fun...but having my entire class focus, evocation spells, to the DM, that would have taken it from "hard", to utter nonsense BS. fighters and paladins never needed to research new ways to fight, or roll a % die to see if they could swing a new sword they found. Their stuff just "works". I like hunting spells down...but not my class focus ones from my main school.
