Talk:Ignite (3.5e Spell)

Balance[edit]
Might not be a cantrip as is. Prestidigitation can do this (candle on the finger, 1 foot range with no fire damage, but ignitability). I don't mind increasing the power by making it specific, from Pres.'s 1 hour multi-purposeness to this spells "ignite and only ignite" power, but this might be a bit much. Think tindertwigs... personally I'd treat it as if you tosses a tindertwig, give it range... and if you really wanted, the ability to fire more tindertwig-like sparks as you level. But Up to 100 flammable objects + 50/level and Long range is really a lot.
On another note, saying a gnoll is flammable is a bit deceptive. Oil if flammable. Living creatures generally aren't, otherwise people would explode into flames any time they drop a match. -- Eiji 22:33, 28 July 2008 (MDT)
The gnoll itself isn't flammable, its fur and clothing are. Mabye it should be edited so that there is a 50% chance that it'll catch or something--Lolki 21:23, 29 July 2008 (MDT)
- also, let it save as a 0 level spell. sure you could get the save up high at later levels but i don't think its game breaking. but i think it should have a short range, not long and be changed more to what was commended above. also why is it wizard 0, specialized fire mage 2? should tha be reversed? --Name Violation 21:07, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
