+ | - __Lightning Bolt and Fireball__: note that making a save means NO damage. | ||

+ | -__Shocking Grasp__: calls for a touch, I'm going to rule that this means you must be in melee contact, and that this is the only spell one can cast in melee contact. | ||
+ | -__Cone of Cold__: this spell allows a save for half damage, so the no lower than 1 rule applies. | ||
+ | -__Sleep Spell__: to avoid no save TPK whenever low level characters see a mage, any target with Fighter, Cleric, Magic-User or Thief class, whether PC or NPC, does get a save vs. Sleep Spell. | ||
