Re: Save-or-Suck/Battlefield Control that allows a save: Dif

Hmmm... in my mind something like a wall of stone or wall of force would also count as battlefield control, but it clearly isn't a save vs anything.

Re: Save-or-Suck/Battlefield Control that allows a save: Dif

Glitterdust doesn't affect an area - it effects creatures within the area at the time of casting. Battlefield control is about filling areas of the battlefield with persisting effects to control movement, I believe, so Glitterdust doesn't qualify.[br][br]I think that a spell can actually fit into bo...

Re: Cryo/Pyrohydras - Too Powerful?

I would be inclined to read it as all heads firing off together to form a single jet, once every 1d4 rounds. So you'ld end up with 30d6 damage once, with ER applying to it once. Mainly because the text doesn't suggest multiple jets at once, but does state all the heads breathe on together.

If you don't have high magic then you can use a non-wish based economy anyway.
