Spell Errata?
My apologies if these are dealt with elsewhere.
Should Weapon/Armor Enchantment be listed as Special (as are Lesser and Greater Magic Item Creation) instead of Thrown? Should Control Gate be Thrown instead of Creation? You aren't after all, creating anything with this spell, but changing it. |

Re: Spell Errata?
I think these are very good questions. I checked the errata that was suggested and neither question was addressed. Not only are Greater and Lesser magic item creation spells type S, but all these item creation spells:
- Greater Magic Item Creation - Lesser Magic Item Creation - Expunge - Blast Trap - Create/Destroy Elemental - Write Scroll - Staff 1-5 - Explosive Gem The only exceptions, and I agree with you these should be type S but are type T, are these two: - Weapon/Armor Enchantment - Duplicate Writing Regarding Duplicate Writing, notice you cannot throw this spell. The item to copy must be in hand and the copy will appear in the other hand. Too bad for one armed wizards. But copying pages for books of spells and other books is a type of item creation and should be type S. As far as Control Gate and Create Gate both being type C, yea maybe these should be type S for the same reasoning but I like them as type C. Type C gives it a clear range while type S leaves these undefined. |

Re: Spell Errata?
Weapon/Armor Enchantment (but not Staff) is subject to Remove Thrown Spell, but I wouldn't consider this to a useful tactical option.
Control gate needs the Creation Spell range restriction because otherwise you get two different range rules for stabilize gate. If asked tell the players they are "creating" a new rule set for the gate. My question is what would happen if you cast Remove Thrown Spell on Duplicate or Delete Writing targets?

Maybe the whole point of weapon/armor enchantment spell being of thrown type is so they can be easily destroyed. If so, it seems unfair. It takes a powerful mage weeks to create an item only to have a beginning mage undo all that work with one quick spell. |
