Stuff to check

• Protection from Chaos/Evil/Good/Law: +2 to AC and saves, counter mind control, hedge out elementals and outsiders.

In the KB, it does not talk about "counter mind control, hedge out elementals and outsiders" => see if it applies to DDO -- Tihocan 08:00, January 19, 2006 (PST)

That appears to be the overall description of Prot. from C/E/G/L... only Prot. from Evil is in DDO though. It does help against mind control vs evil. Last I checked, there are no evil elementals at all. Are there even any evil outsiders in DDO? --Uky 18:20, January 20, 2006 (PST)

Bah, there is 'a' evil elemental in the SRD... I guess there could be some in Eberron then though.. haven't heard of any though. --Uky 18:22, January 20, 2006 (PST)

• Magic Weapon: Weapon gains +1 bonus.

This spell is not in the KB. -- Tihocan 08:00, January 19, 2006 (PST)

• Aid: +1 on attack rolls and saves against fear, 1d8 temporary hp +1/level (max +10).

This is the official 3.5e definition, however the DDO KB says the bonus is to damage (not attack roll). I reported it in the KB, in case it would be a mistake. -- Tihocan 08:24, January 19, 2006 (PST)

Note about numerical effects

I added back the note about numerical effects not being necessarily true in DDO -- Tihocan 08:26, January 19, 2006 (PST)

Schools

I understand about dividing spells into schools in the PnP game where mages are frequently specialized in a school of spells, and clerics pick dieties that also restrict them to a couple of schools. Other than the specialization feats, do spell schools play a part in DDO? I find it much easier to just browse through a list of 1st level spells, for example, than to look at the various schools of 1st level spells. Maybe everyone else is used to this type of organization from the PnP sources, but I find the Sorcerer   page much harder to browse than the alphabetical-by-level Bard spells  page. Dedridd 18:26, February 20, 2006 (PST)

Honest answer: You need both. As a mage you probably focus to one school. It would be laborious to look up every single spell in order to check the school. On the other side, when you just want to find a single spell, an alphabetical list is much better. Having two list of spells with a different format would be too complicated though IMO. Since you can find any spell quickly with "Strg-F" or the search formular I think the version sorted by schools is more important (even if it's harder to browse).--Ziu 00:49, February 21, 2006 (PST)

Didn't we categorize each spell by it's school exactly for the purpose of being able to browse spells by their school? Like Evocation spells , you can get a list of spells by school by hitting the category you want. You can't get a simple alphabetical listing of cleric spells by level using the category though, because it's been customized. I don't mind the short descriptions, because they give you more information than in-game when you're looking at new spells, so don't think that I'm advocating a simple category list for all cleric spells overall. But categorizing by school as well as splitting the main list by school seems like it prevents us from being able to get the information both ways. Dedridd 05:56, February 21, 2006 (PST)

I agree with Dedridd on that one. I also find the single list to be easier to read. And I had even forgotten that categories would make browsing by school easy enough. I'm all for it. Tihocan 06:33, February 21, 2006 (PST)

Traditionally only mage spells are listed by school, because they are the ones who could specialize and remove access to certain schools. I could see a benefit for doing the same with clerics and bards, as they can take Spell penetration feat and other feats that work only in one school. It really is a moot point for clerics though as they automatically learn every spell upon levelup. I likewise agree that the category would be useful enough. -- koolkat 08:26, February 21, 2006 (PST)

Resist Energy

Are you sure resist energy absorbs 30 damage at level 9? I thought it was capped at 20 after level 7.--Waaagh 08:05, May 5, 2006 (EDT)

Yes, you're most likely right. This was from PnP. I'm still in the (slow) process of going through all spells :/ Tihocan 10:01, May 5, 2006 (EDT)
