A new 8th level spell
Which kind of spell do you prefer as a replacement for Simulacrum?
A new summoning spell: summoned creature vulnerable to death spell [ 0 ] ** [0.00%]
A new summoning spell: summoned creature gated and invulnerable to death spell [ 6 ] ** [28.57%]
An improved version of Tenser's Transofrmation, which doesn't disable spellcasting, but has shorter duration than TT and doesn't stack with TT [ 7 ] ** [33.33%]
None of the above, I have another suggestion [ 8 ] ** [38.10%]

Hi all,

Our tests proved that Simulacrum spell is almost as cheesy as PI and must be replaced with a new spell. Of course, it's not as bad as Project Image, but it's still too cheesy. You can use items (Rod of Resurrection, scrolls, etc...) in the clone's quick slots without consuming the items' charges. Hence, for example, you can have infinite healing with the rod.

So, please give us your votes and comments about what kind of new spell you prefer to see.

Cheers

Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating.
