The loss of Harm is bad, but otherwise, it looks good.

I'm glad to see the level change in speak with animals - I always thought that it was foolish that you couldn't talk to your companion till 3rd level... lowering quench is cool too, I love that spell.

Also nice to see control water on the list - It never made sense to me that that one was cleric and not druid.

Looking forward to the spell descriptions for some of the new ones....

I suspect that Hide From Animals is a renamed Invisibility to Animals. That spell's name was very misleading-Hide From Animals is a better description of the spell effect, really.

Note, also, that shadowstar? That's his name? said that searing light was a Druid spell.

Kinda odd, that it was left off the list.

 

[youspoonybard]

Actually, looking at the list, they lost Harm.

Besides Animal Friendship, which isn't used anymore, that's the only spell they lost access to that still exists. Unless Mass Heal is a level 9 Cleric spell, of course.

Wow.

 

[ForceUser]

The additions appear to make sense. Looking forward to the increase in offensive power!

 

[Shard O'Glase]

I suspect resist elements is now ressit energy. I am really hopeing for a rewrite on the resist spells, IMO they suck big time as is. There just spells put in so you can make items and not actually cast them.

Personally I hope either the duration is signifigantly improved(though maybe not the 24 hour endure level) or its a higher resitance to all energy not a specific one chosen as cast.

Nope I just relooked, you're getting confused because I answered Magic Stone and Searing Light on the same line. Searing Light is a Sun 3/Cleric 3

Didn't they already have Sunbeam?

Great spell against Undead, too.
