Talk:Dust to Dust (3.5e Spell)
A Bit Terse
This is a viable spell concept, but it could use some elaboration. It says that the corpse is consumed completely, but...in what way? The name suggests that it might turn to dust, but the method is completely unstated -- it might vanish into vapor, cease to exist, crumble into sand, burn into smoke, etc. So some clarity might be useful there. Dovetailing into that concern is the notion of remains -- are there any, for the purposes of resurrection spells? I would suggest not, because that gives a solid mechanical use for this: requiring a 9th-level spell to rez. Lacking that, the only real use I can see is hiding murder evidence. --DanielDraco (talk) 08:59, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
- While "consumes ... utterly" is unambiguous about whether remains are left, I have added some clarification. The details of this utter consumption seem best left to the DM. --Ideasmith (talk) 15:00, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
A save-or-die spell at LEVEL 1? Fuck that noise. --71.82.214.138 19:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
