[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8136022, member: 6915329"] First off, [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)][B]THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE CLASSES IN THE SPELL BLOCK![/B][/COLOR] I [I]hate [/I]that 5e stopped doing that. It was one thing when the caster classes were "cleric" and "wizard" and everyone else just took from those lists, but nowadays? Sheesh. I'm definitely intrigued by this and am looking forward to seeing a larger spell list. But, of course, questions: So how are the non-classical spells going to work? Are you planning on having abilities or effects that give bonuses to or specifically counteract, say, fire spells? Monsters that are resistant to fire, but not [fire] spells? Is "shadow" going to be used in the traditional D&D sense of quasi-real illusions given a semblance of solidity due to taking matter from the Plane of Shadow/Shadowfell? (e.g., the old [I]shadow monsters [/I]and [I]shadow magic [/I]spells?) Or are you using shadow to mean darkness? How will the Rare spells act? If I have [I]fireball [/I]in my spellbook, and I find [I]Ravjahani’s blackfire[/I], would I need to spend the full PH-specified time and money to add it to my book, or would it a fraction of that, because it's just a variant? Like [USER=61935]@The Last Rogue[/USER] I'm not hugely fond of Rare spells that [I]just [/I]up the damage, but I love the idea of variants that have different effects. [I]Ravjahani's blackfire [/I]is cool. [I]Katrina’s improved fireball [/I]is not. One of my hopes for spells is to have more spells with an At Higher Levels ability: longer duration, more people affected, wider effected area, etc. I actually have plans on going through the list at one point and coming up with AHLs for the spells. Ditto more cantrips having extra effects at higher levels. Any plans for this? And does this mean we're going to get a spells playtest packet? [B]EDIT: [/B]This is the poster who used to be called Jessica W--I [I]finally [/I]figured out how to change my username to my not-actual name. And I have no idea why it used my actual name to begin with. [/QUOTE]
