So where do we report the site bugs then? The staff section of the site says to report it here.

Anyway...

The spell submission form: The descriptive text in the draft version appears between the "duration" and the "saving throw" lines, not below the stat-block. Is this intentional?
If yes, why?
If no, and I'm guessing it's no, can it be fixed?

This works as well as any other spot really. Regardless fixing bugs ends up in my lap. Eye-wink The original design was laid out that way as that's what it was (at least simular to) in the book I was looking at at the time. (3rd ed PHB)

There's a lot of these forms as you probably saw - I went through and beat on them to be sure they weren't *broken* - but some of the displays may be a little wonky. I didn't have a lot of input from people on how they preferred the layout to be - so any commentary is welcome.

Um, no, not really. The PHB has this:

----------------------
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Up to one creature per level, all within 30 ft. of each other
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

This spell frees victims from enchantments, transmutations,...
----------------------

While the PW form has this:

----------------------
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Up to one creature per level, all within 30 ft. of each other
Duration: Instantaneous

This spell frees victims from enchantments, transmutations,...

Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No
----------------------

See? It's not a matter of personal preference, it's just that the description text is somehow stuck in the middle of the stat block.

It's been fixed by this time, so things are laid out right now.

Great, thanks!

Oh, and one more thing, if it's not too much trouble:

The name of a spell and its school are displayed on the same line, instead of one after the other. As in:

Astral Search Divination
Level: Sor/Wiz 3

instead of

Astral Search
Divination
Level: Sor/Wiz 3

It's a minor issue, but I thought I'd report it anyway.

I'll see what I can do to make that a little more sensible...
BTW - great spells you're outting out! Seriously neat stuff! Smiling
