This is not my work; it's a duplicate of this (http://community.wizards.com/forum/previous-editions-character-optimization/threads/1100111) thread. Since the Wizards forums will be disappearing soon (bad form!) I wanted to preserve a few of these threads. Feel free to continue discussing the thread's topic.


(posted January 19, 2007)

Well, I was bored, so I decided to come up with a list of area of effect spells with an instantaneous duration that have no SR and a Reflex save for the Spellwarp Sniper. Currently, I'm only checking Spell Compendium and PHB, but I will soon be adding spells from PHB II, Complete Mage, and the Fiendish Codices. Anything I didn't mention I don't have and would love for people to submit. This will not include cantrips because cantrips are silly.

EDIT: Maat_Mons has the full list down there. For sake of scrolling, I'm just gonna copy this. This is all thanks to him, by the way. I really did very little.
