Jul 24, 2003 17:04:08 I finally read the Dark Sun 3 pdf and noticed that one of my favorite spells from Dark Sun, Spider Strand, is not in the spell list. I want to know if this is an oversight or are there plan to convert it to 3.5?

Ok, here goes:
Spider Strand
4th level Evocation
Components: VSM
Casting Time: 1 action
Target:1 object or creature
Area of Effect: Strand of web 1/2" in diameter, up to 5' per level long
Saving Throw: Reflex partial

With this spell, the caster causes a single strand of strong spider web to shoot forth from his hand. The web becomes part of the caster for the duration of the spell or until he wishes to detach itself from him. The strand will hold upto 2500 lbs without breaking.

Target Size # of feet to Immobilize # of feet to Entangle
Tiny or Smaller 5' 5'
Small 10' 5'
Medium 15' 10'
Large 25' 15'
Huge 50' 35'
Gargantuan n/a 150'

The spell requires a ranged touch to hit and any left over length wraps around the target. A creature or attended object gets a reflex save to partially negate the effect of the spell(Immobilized to Entangled, Entangled to miss). Each 5' of web must be broken individually with a STR check(DC21) or cut (hardness 5, hp 10)

The material component is a webbing gland of a Small sized spider.

By all means, post a list of spells you miss, and the Spells/Psionics work group will look into it.

I was just really interested in Spider Strand because it was a favorite of mine from 2nd ed. I still remember my wizard using it in the Return to the Tomb of Horrors module to do the Indiana Jones routine of swinging over a pit.
