A few questions about custom spells

[sydsbluesky]

So there are a few in now... Alter self, Improved Mage Armor and Spider Skin, right?

The spells these mechanically use are summon II, Summon III and protection from elements, correct?

So Alter Self is Bard2/Sorc2/Wiz2 according to my 3.5 PHB. The spell used is summon II, so can druids and clerics use it?

Same question for Improved Mage Armor(Mage Armor, Greater). It uses Summon III which all classes except paladin get, but it's Sorc3/Wiz3 according to my 3.5 spell compendium. Do bards/druids/clerics/rangers get to cast this?

Spider Skin is druid3/sorc3/wiz3 according to the same book as above and uses Protection from Elements, which is cleric3/druid3/sorc3/wiz3/ranger2. Do those other classes get to cast that spell?

If not, are there some spells coming that balance out the sorc/wiz Summer of Love? Or possibly any tricks a non caster can pull off to bring up their level of danger(or in this case astounding augmentations of defensive abilities) a little closer to the caster PCs they hang around with? Or are they left behind?

Actually, crazy thought... Greater weapon focus and Greater weapon spec for fighters of lvl 8/12... widgets for this possible? The lack of fighter feats (other than spec... har) was always something I disliked about NwN... or, rather... love about PnP!

Bump! I think this got lost.

It's restricted by class. I guess I should post the exact specfics since all the custom spells seem to be working (though mermaid has some issues). I'll post it shortly.

The short answer is that it's not every class that can cast the 'tracked' spell, but it's not 100% identical to PnP. We're letting rangers cast spiderskin for example.

Druids can turn into sharks at very low level as some as you have seen.

I have been planning on doing the greater wf and spec, using the same implementation that we used for CEP weapon bonuses. Just haven't done that yet.

Should the Fish form change the players phenotype? I couldn't tell if there was any effect from casting that spell other than using up a spell slot.

Fish form is broken atm. I believe it was broken with cep 2.4 ... I just need to go change it to the right #.
