In real life, we include things like this in our purposed budgets
specifically so the bean counters have something to scratch off the list,
thus increasing the chances of things we really need getting through.
They are very cool spells though, and I'd love to have access to them.
Besides, how is Verant going to know we want new spells and are perfectly
capable of coming up with them ourselves if we don't ask for them?

Agreed - I like the idea someone came up with (and I wish I could remember
who is was so I could give credit) of a line of sight teleport spell.

Seven, six - either would be an improvement. I think it should be a raise
in the skill cap though, and not something you have to purchase at 16th. I
would like the option to Specialize in it at 16th for added benefit,
though. (Keep in mind I'm 8th level, so I may be a bit biased. =)

I can understand making allowances for named NPCs. Maybe a 10% chance of
resisting if the named NPC cons green, 40% if blue.

Haven't gotten there yet, but I've been practicing this spell since 4th and
*I* think I'm pretty d*** good with it. I can see it getting resisted by
reds, yellows, and maybe whites... but never fizzling. Not by 18th level,
having 12 levels worth of experience casting this spell.
The letter looks great. I think it needs to be run though a spell checker
once or twice and sent on it's way.
I think we need to attach a list of players in favor of these changes so
that it doesn't look like just one player with gripe. Feel free to add my
name to the list of supporters of these changes.
