12-13-04, 10:24 PM Does anyone know why Ray of Enfeeblement no longer allows a saving throw in 3.5? I know you need to hit with it, but it's a ranged touch attack. Once you start getting to medium class levels those are fairly easy to hit. You drop enough of them on one individual and you make them pretty much combat ineffective. It just seems a bit much to me (and some of my players) for a first level spell. I'd appreciate any and all feedback on this.

That and the Arcane Necromancer really, really needs help.
