Q 170 What would be the point behind the Smell of Fear (SpC) ranger spell, other than maybe grinding for levels? Rangers don't usually have a very high WIS score, and only count as half a caster, so having the spell need both a Will save AND SR, seems kind of pointless. It's possible that a ranger might cast it on someone so that their animal companion can gain bonuses (assuming it's a predator), or maybe on a villain who's been destroying the forest, but it seems more like a spell that a druid would use, and yet it's not on their spell list.
There's none, IMO. It's just a bad spell, and wouldn't be worth casting even as a druid. Melee touch, will negates,
AND SR: Yes.. Like, really?
Q199: I've read
this and it's pretty sweet, but I'm looking for some other manners of boosting up a character's ML. More precisely, the
crystal master has easy requirements (Knowledge (gemology) 4 ranks, Craft (gemcutting) 4 ranks, Psicrystal Affinity, Psicrystal Containment, Manifester level 5th) but I want to be able to enter in it before ECL6, preferably at ECL2. Is it possible?
