<p>From your own quoted aiming rules, only the first one ("Target") requires you to see the target. You only need to designate an "Area" spell ("I designate a spot 30 feet directly in front of me" works just fine), you don't need to see to aim a "Ray" spell at all (it explicitly says so), and you don't need to see to aim an "Area" spell ("I select a point 30 feet directly in front of me" is good... </blockquote><p>I think you missed my point. I was not arguing that a blind caster couldn't cast the spell at all, only that he couldn't cast it accurately. Area spells require you to select your point of origin. Perhaps the squirreliness of the rules allows for both your interpretation and mine; I'm resorting to commonsensicalness in my reasoning. That is, how does someone select a point he can't see? How does he say "I select a spot 30 feet directly in front of me" when he doesn't know what that spot is, or (more importantly) who's in it?
<p>Again, I'm not saying he can't cast the spell at all; I'm only saying he doesn't know where "30 feet directly in front of me" is. So, for instance, a growl emminated from a dense fog, I say the caster could cast a fireball in that general distance and direction, but as he cannot see/select his point of origin, he cannot cast the spell <i>with accuracy</i>, and so he is liable to miss the point of origin.</p>
<p>That's all.</p>

<p>But anyway, even at low levels, the players would in some way bump elbows with the elite classes, just by the setting's nature. Certainly not in combat, but in some way. So as it is, I'm going to have to figure out something to do.</p>

<p>-Frank </blockquote><p>I see your point here. But this puts me, and DMs like me I would assume, in a conundrum.
<p>I want to play D&D. However, I don't want to play in a setting where wishing items into existence is so common as to be the basis for an economy, because that just doesn't seem fun to me. And I also don't see an alternate system, because the problem you bring up is a real one.</p>
<p>So, what are DMs and players that feel similarly to me supposed to do? And I'm saying now, "play a different system" isn't an option, because I don't want to play a different system, I want to play D&D.</p>
<p>So, what alternative solutions to the Wish economy exist at these high levels, Frank? All I can think of myself is either "don't play with players that want to do stupid gold accumulation tricks" or "just pretend that society is exactly the same, only it has magic that hasn't actually effected society at all ever", but neither of those deals with the actual issue. And I can't imagine that this is the only possible, workable, simple system that's ever been thought of for the issue.</p>
<p>I mean, I think this is why so many people are resisting it. Because the idea of wizards Wishing up magic items for trade just isn't fun to them; the various objections are just more detailed ways of expressing this opinion, or the specific form the opinion takes for them.</p>
<p>Edit: I think Geraint might be on to something - I missed his post before. What if the higher level items don't have an actual price at all? That is, they can't be easily bought? Go back to a pseudo-2e like system. These items have "prices" associated with them, but these values are solely for balancing purposes, there's no way to actually be assured of being able to purchase them...well, anywhere. That way, high level characters can't grind up gold from the low level quests or use other tricks to be able to get access to items much more powerful than they should otherwise have.</p>
<p>In fact, I realize now that this is basically what I've been doing, though not so strict. When a PC wants an item in my game, I consider if it's one that could reasonably be obtained in the general area they're at, and if so, I let them take it. But then again, I've never really DMed a 3.5 game that went that high of a level, so the issue of Wishes never really came up for me.</p>

The basic Forgotten Realms book goes into exquisite painful detail that Native Outsiders count as "extraplanar creatures" for the purposes of spells like <i>banishment</i>. The Player's Guide to Feyrun is even harsher, and has this chestnut:
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Player's Guide to Feyrun, p. 191 wrote:</div><blockquote>Planetouched are humanoids (not outsiders with the planetouched subtype. They are susceptible to spells and effects that specifically target both humanoids or outsiders. <i>Charm person</i> works against them, and so does <i>banishment</i>.

<p>-Frank </blockquote><p>That's ridiculous. Where exactly are they banished <i>to</i>? <i>Banishment</i> says it's a more powerful version of <i>dismissal</i>, which means that all aspects of <i>dismissal</i> apply unless specifically contradicted in the description of <i>banishment</i>. <i>Dismissal</i> specifies that it sends its target back to its home plane, and <i>banishment</i> says nothing about where its targets end up, thus this aspect of <i>dismissal</i> still applies to <i>banishment</i>. A tiefling's home plane is most likely the Prime. So where does this Primeborn tiefling end up? That's an idiotic rule that can't even be applied ever, and if a rule can't be applied, it may as well not exist.
<p>Personally, I'd chalk that up to Faerunians just being silly Clueless, wrong about yet another planar thing, much as how they're wrong about the Dark of their own cosmology. Green Fields indeed.</p>
