What New spells would you like to see in DDO? /Spell Crafting

[baddax]

Spell crafting: I dont remember the rules from PNP but i know it was availabe to high level casters. I can imagine this would be difficult to do code wise but i think it would be great nonethelss. I mean thats where all of tenser's, melfs, otilukes spells came from. They were all created by players of said casters in greyhawlk. Which brings another thought to mind why no Bigby's? I always liked the bigby's hand spells from PNP.

MT had a good list .... Where is MT haven't seen him around lately?

Wonder if he's taking a break.?.

Anyway like I said MT had a pretty comprehensive list of Spells that could be implemented

Spell crafting is a difficult thing for even a good DM to balance. I'd rather see them implement the metamagic feats for spells that make the ones we have more flexible such as Energy admixture (turn fireball into fire and acid ball), energy substitution (turn lightning bolt into cold bolt), spell shaping (turn flamestrike into flamecone), etc.

That sounds cool too.

What about Bigby? I think someone should tell him he has been snubbed! Also i would like to see bigby's crushing fist and bigbys back scrathcer! ok so i made the last one up but it would be cool to.

I would like to see some druid spells snuck in...as a prelude to adding druids later.
Have some of the low level ones on items,,,,Belt of entangle ect..

They wouldn't want to do that. Turbine will wish to preserve all of the Druid coolness for the arrival of actual druids. Whatever new capabilities druids bring, they don't want players to have already been using them. Stealing the thunder is bad publicity.

The only good reason to provide druid spells now would be if they don't expect to ever introduce a druid class in the forseeable future.

The only real problem with those two MEtamagic Feat (and I want them too) is the fact that Firewall will become the only dps spell you ever really need... I mean imagine a Wall of Cold and Acid (energy Sub Cold and admix Acid)... I mean wow... it would require some major balancing acts and a massive improvement to AI

I may or may not have heard MT mumble something about portals, shavarath and ice cream cake and then he teleported away. I tried scrying on him but he must have mindblank up. I bet he will be back.

as much as i'd love to make a wall that did force damage, i see that being a lot overpowered...

In PnP i always liked contingency. if X occurs then cat Y spell. ie upon my unconciousness teleport me to the portable hole. up taking any damage cast delyed blast fireball at the target etc etc. This can also have very unexected surprises ie barbarian buddys slaps caster on back doing 1 hp of damage then gets to eat delayed blast fireball to the face !
