[3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Is Caltrops from the Spell Compendium an area effect spell? Could you use Sculpt Spell on it?

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Since the spell does have an "area" entry, it qualifies, even if it's an unusual area.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Its the Close range on Caltrops which may inhibit your options a little.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
So, if a level 1 character casts a Sculpted Caltrops in a narrow hallway, Sculpt would allow it to be a line, but the range of the spell would stop it at 25'?

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Correct. If the area you select from the sculpt spell menu won't fit within the range of the spell, the area is truncated where it hits the spell's range limit.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
25' + 10% per caster level, but yeah, that's the gist.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Since the area and range for a cone are always the same, doesn't it just override?
Otherwise a widened cone of cold or lightning bolt would be exactly the same as a normal cone of cold or lightning bolt.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Just a curiosity, would the 4 10' cube options create a Caltrop Rain effect? I know the extra caltrops wouldn't have any game effect, but it would be fun.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Technically you can't conjure items into an environment that can't support them, so the cubes of caltrops would become rectangles of caltrops, but as DM, I would TOTALLY support the caltrop rain.

Re: [3.5] Question about Sculpt Spell
Grease (again, assuming that sculpt spell saying "changes the area's shape" includes the needed change in the spell's range to actually make the spell into that shape). Body of the sun, if you can swing it.
