Spell Editor ????s

[Heckle]

Greetings,

I am new to DC and have a question (possibly a few) about the spell editor.

First, item, monster, and spell lists are tranferable between designs, yes? If so, has anyone made up some of the spells from the Player's Handbook and made them available for download?

Second, I was playing around with the editor making the standard Magic Missle spell. The spell functions, but how do I program in the multiple missles for higher levels? This is probably something very basic that I'm just missing.

Thanks,
Heckle

The spell editor is relatively new to DC. As far as I'm aware, no-one has made up the player's handbook spells. I imagine these will be included as defaults by the final version of the game.

Magic Missile seems like a pretty straightforward spell, but it's actually pretty tricky, isn't it? The ability to use proper diceplus expressions has been greatly improved in the latest version of DC and this should now allow for a proper magic missile spell. It will be possible to create one that works the same as the old gold box games. However, I don't think this is strictly in accordance with the players' handbook spell.

The gold box games allowed the extra damage per two levels of the caster, but there was never more than one missile seen to be thrown. All missiles are effectively rolled into one, which hits for the total amount of damage - and all must be aimed at the same target. I believe it is now possible to replicate the gold box games' version of the magic missile spell.
