Complete Dragon and Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Spells - Introduction WHO AM I? INTRODUCTION Plain and simple: nobody. I’m not a graphic artist. I do not design layouts for magazines or newsletters of any sort. INTRODUCTION TO V3.0 While I would love to say who I am, I’d rather not be hassled The inclusion of DUNGEON MAGAZINE in this compilation for creating this compilation for the gaming community. I yielded only 10 new spells none of which had images often go by the name of EldritchHorror or some variation associated with them. All of them were Sor/Wiz spells with and sometimes can be found as Strider. the exception of the two Epic level spells. Most of the spells Look for my other compilations: Arms and Equipment, found in DUNGEON MAGAZINE already come from another Feats, Flaws, and Fighting Styles, and Magic Items. source. There are no new Spellbooks and no new Domains. Adding these spells doesn’t significantly change much at all but is done more for uniformity between the compilations. INTRODUCTION Collected here is a listing of all the spells found in DRAGON MAGAZINE issues 309-362. Most of the spells in the earlier issues have found their way into the SPELL COMPENDIUM. Other spells appear in various printed books. These spells have not been reproduced here. Even though there may be slight differences between the spells in the magazine and the spells in the books, it is my belief that newer issues and newer printed material supersedes anything that came before it. There is one exception to this reprinting rule. Greater Bestow Curse appears both in COMPLETE DIVINE and RACES OF DESTINY. The Greater Bestow Curse that is found here is reprinted from these two books (which are identical with the exception of the Divine 7 level which is added to the RACES OF DESTINY version) solely for the purpose of including the variants to this spell which do not appear in either book. Entries found here have been entered using OCR and proofread. Some issues come from really bad scans in which case entries have been manually transcribed. Readers of my other compilations may notice a slight difference in chapter/appendix styles. This was done to mimic the layout of the SPELL COMPENDIUM. DESCRIPTIONS There has been no change or standardization to the way spells have been listed in the 3.5 world and therefore, unlike other compilations, have not had to undergo changes. The entries are word for word from the magazine with a few exceptions: The Dragon Magazine # is included in the stat block which lists from which issue and article the spell originally appeared in. In a few rare cases, the spells had a lot of back-story to their origins. This information was pulled out and placed at the end of the description under the heading Lore. IMAGES Although there weren’t as many images accompanying the spells as I would have liked, I took what was available and tried to place them near the corresponding spell description. These images all come from Dragon Magazines and have only been altered to clean them up for use in this compilation.
