@nostupidquestions Roleplaying aside, is there a point in Gnomes and Spell Focus (Illusion) in core DnD 3.5 or at most the expanded 3.5 SRD? There seems to be a dearth of relevant useful illusion spells.

Oh yeah definitely, game systems are rarely a good implementation outside of the combat. Many DnD games are definitely good (I’ve played neverwinter nights series, baldur’s gate series, dungeons and dragons online), but the real charm in DnD is playing with your friends and having a good time (as well as hyperoptimising your character at the same time, if you like that) (honestly I believe that’s one of the realisations WotC made with 3.5e that led them to make 4e, and subsequently 5e, a lot simpler: making it easier to get your friends into it was more important than having myriads of options for breaking the game)
@NightFantom But wasn’t Pathfinder 1e which has 50% more content than 3e equally popular during 4e? Also wasn’t simplicity the point of the old school renaissance movement with even simpler rules from the good old days which doesn’t seem to be as popular as DnD or Pathfinder
Yeah. I’m not high level enough to fully know if it’s good enough in ToEE but it seems only Color Spray is a good gnome illusion specialist spell I see and other spells like mirror image and invisibility don’t need speccing
