2006/18-suplextrain2.gif Of course you can suplex a ghost train.

...That game was hard.

This is special. We're going to rate this.

That said, a SoD, especially with an unavoidable massive damage portion, is probably not H. No negative rating because it is a cool spell, but no positive rating either because I cannot remotely see this as fitting within its balance point.

I Like Trains. No really, I like trains.


Dual School

I'd like this to be Conj/Necro, but it doesn't seem to like dual-schooled spells. Wat do? -- Eiji-kun (talk) 01:39, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

(Gets Dual Schools) Thanks Tark! -- Eiji-kun (talk) 06:53, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Comments

I think you might have made a small mistake here: 'Those affected take 10 points of divine damage per caster level (maximum 40d6) ' What damage exactly?

P.S. Love the spell component. But aside from a beloved wiki user, what's a ghostwheel, exactly? -HarrowedMind (talk) 05:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Whoops, 10 per level is right.
The material component, like any of them without cost, is a joke. X3 Mechanically, it has no cost so it doesn't matter what it is, it's in your spell component pouch. Fluffwise, who knows. The undead spirit of a wheeeeeel. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 06:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Sounds Instantaneous, but Isn't

So with this lasting 1 round, how exactly is damage meted out? By that I mean, does the damage occur immediately? At the start of each respective victim's turn? Every time one enters the area (if they Spring Attack through it, or the like)? Some combination? --DanielDraco (talk) 07:24, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Instant damage, followed by a wall for 1 round. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 12:50, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
As in, a wall that actually blocks passage? I thought that might have been it, but I wasn't sure. There are, after all, plenty of "wall" spells that do no such thing. Maybe it should be specified. --DanielDraco (talk) 19:11, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Got a suggestion on wording? I'll look it over myself. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 22:16, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Maybe adapt portions of wall of force's first paragraph? --DanielDraco (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
