These I have in mind. Most ideas are from a GURPS or so book, which contained the clergy of Set. Comments please. Wave of Pain ------------ Level : 4 Sphere : Necromantic Range : 1"/level Area of Effect : One creature Casting Time : 3 Duration : Instantaneous Saving Throw : Special Description: The caster of this spell selects a target, and that target is struck by a wave of pain. It bypasses all armor and can strike from any direction. It causes 1d4 + 1d4 per two levels of the caster damage. If the target fails to save vs. spell it is also stunned for the current and next round. No to hit roll is required. Eye of Set ---------- Level : 4 Sphere : Necromantic Range : 2" / level Area of Effect : One creature Casting Time : 5 Duration : Special Saving Throw : Neg. Description: The target of this spell comes under the eye of Set and will become sick and slowly waste away. The target loses 1 Point of Strength and Constitution per day and 1 hit point per day. This cannot be healed. It stops when a Remove Curse is cast, which has 10% chance of curing per level of the caster or a Heal spell which always cures. After the Remove Curse/Heal lost hitpoint can be healed normally and lost Strength and Constitution points recover at a rate of one per day. Turning of Eyes --------------- Level : 2 Sphere : Protection Range : 0 Area of Effect : 1 creature / 2 levels Casting Time : 3 Duration : 1 round / level Saving Throw : None Description: A priest can call upon his god to shield from the eyes of others. His God then averts the eyes of those around the caster. So that the caster will not be noticed. Creatures with the lowest hit dice or levels are affected first. So if a 8th level priest casts this spell and he faces 3 first level fighters,1 second level and a fifth level, only the fifth level doesn't averts his eyes,the others do (they can be distracted by a sound or something,or just happen to look the other way). Note that the 5th level fighter's eyes are not averted by the spell, but that doesn't mean he automaticly sees the caster. It just means he's not affected by the spell. The spell effect also wears off if the caster makes a lot of noise (more than talking-level), such as melee combat. Casting other spells does not end the spell. Visions of Pain --------------- Level : 5 Sphere : Necromantic Range : 2" Area of Effect : 1 creature Casting Time : 8 Duration : Special Saving Throw : Neg. Description: This spell allowes the caster to reach into the victim's mind and find his worst fear. The target of the spell thinks that the vision is real and dies of fright,unless a saving throw vs Death magic is made. A second saving throw must be made to determine if the victim thinks the vision is real or not. If he does thinks it's real, he runs away in terror for 1d6 rounds. If he doesn't, he sees that the vision is fake and he isn't harmed in any way. Note that the victim must be intelligent, unintelligent creatures, such as undead etc., are not affected by this spell. Form of the Beast ----------------- Level : 3 Sphere : Elemental/Animal Range : 0 Area of Effect : Caster Casting Time : 1 round Duration : Special Saving Throw : None Desciption: The caster and all his possessions shape-changes into a Giant Beast when he casts this spell. The caster can't cast any spells when in Beast-form and can end the spell at will. The spell also ends after 24 hours. Each Deity has its own beasts form with its own characteristics according to the Deity's symbol/portfolio/history. Giant Set Beast (Jackal): Hitdice : own hitpoints Thac0 : as monster with caster's hitdice. Armor Class : 6 Move : 20" # attacks : 3 Damage/attack : 1d4/1d4/1d8 Greetings, Antares, "I knew a guy who did that once .... ONCE !" v912451@SI.HHS.NL
