From: an8239@anon.penet.fi Subject: Krazy Klaus' Kustard Spellbook Date: 30 Jan 93 17:47:39 GMT In case the nickname above does not work, my email adress is: imcc@ukc.ac.uk These are a few spells the mage in our group (Krazy Klaus the Mysterious Manic Mystic) wants to research for his spell book. We thought you might appreciate a read, and the DM would also like to hear if you think the spells are too weak, or powerful for the levels suggested. Any comments would be welcome. Well, here goes- Name: Klaus' Krazy Kustard Pie (1st) (Conjuration) Range: 40yds+5yds/lvl Components: V,S,M Duration: Instantaneous Casting time: 1 Area of effect: 1 creature Saving throw: Neg With this spell the caster conjures a gooey custard pie which (s)he can hurl at one creature within the spells range. The caster must roll to hit the creature, ignoring its armour, but dexterity and magical bonusses apply. If the caster hits, the pie has struck the creature in the face, and the creature must make a saving throw vs Spell, or be blinded. The creature must spend 1d3 rounds clearing its face. The target is unlikely to appreciate this, especially if the caster gloats. The material component for this spell is a small amount of custard consumed in the casting. Being hit alone is enough to disrupt spellcasting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.

From: an8239@anon.penet.fi (Iain Clarke) Subject: Krazy Klaus' Spellbook II (The revenge) Date: 1 Feb 93 14:50:01 GMT In case the nickname above does not work, my email adress is: imcc@ukc.ac.uk A few days ago I posted a custard spell. Unfortuneately I forgot to post the rest of the ones we'd done at that point! Oh well.... Here's some more for all you custard fanatics out there! Feel free to either mail me, or jnb@ukc.ac.uk who actually plays Krazy Klaus. ps. Whoever keeps the net.spell.book, these are for you as well! (Sorry, but I can't remember your email adress). On that note, could someone mail me with the ftp site for the new spellbook? As ever, thanks for your attention. And now, the spells!....... Name: Klaus' Kunningly Krafted Kustard Pie (2nd) (Conjuration) Range: 200yds Components: V,S,M Duration: 10 rounds Casting time: 2 Area of effect: 1 creature Saving throw: Neg This spell is similar to Klaus' Krazy Kustard Pie, but it is capable of homing unerringly on its target's visual apparatus, even rounding obstacles, however far the target flees. It flies at speed 30, attacks with the caster's THAC0 and can turn back for one attack every round until it hits, is destroyed or the spell expires. It has AC 7 and will disintegrate on taking 4 points of damage. Naturally, trying to evade the pie disrupts spellcasting. ===================== Name: Klaus' Kustard Koloured Kollage (2nd) (Alteration) Range: 0 Components: V,S,M Duration: Instantaneous Casting time: 2 Area of effect: 5' x 15' x 30' wedge Saving throw: Special The material component of this spell is a blob of custard in each hand. When cast, 1d6+1/level curling, intertwining layers of custard burst forth from the caster's fingertips. The streams can first be aimed at multiple targets if desired. Any creature hit by the custard must save vs. Spell or suffer the effects of Klaus' Krazy Kustard Pie, and in any case is knocked down if hit by enough custard (Tiny sized creatures will always be knocked down by one stream, Small by two, Medium by four, Large by eight, Giant by sixteen). Subtract 20% chance per stream below the required number, and 10% for each extra leg beyond two possessed by the target creature. ========================= Name: Klaus' Katastrophic Kustard Kascade (3rd) (Conjuration) Range: 30yds+5yds/level Components: V,S,M Duration: Instantaneous Casting time: 3 Area of effect: 1' radius per level of caster, 5' deep Saving throw: Special With this spell a portal to the Prime Custard Plane is briefly opened, causing a cylindrical volume of custard 5' deep to fall onto the target/s. At the time of casting the wizard must specify at what location the portal will open. Anyone caught in the cascade takes d3 damage per 10 yards the custard falls, and suffers the blinding effects of Klaus' Krazy Kustard Pie. The targets must make a save vs. Spell to protect themselves for half damage and prevent being blinded. Each 10 yards above the targets that the portal appears adds +1 to the saving throw roll, and if the modified roll is a 20+ they escape entirely. Anyone in the custard has their movement rate divided by 4 for the first round and 2 for the next three, assuming the custard is free to flow away. The material component is a pinch of custard powder (dried milk/eggs) thrown in the air. It MUST be completely dry. ======================== Name: Klaus' Kontagious Kustard Kough (3rd) (Necromancy) Range: Special Components: V,S,M Duration: 1 day Casting time: 2 hours Area of effect: Anyone infected Saving throw: Neg. When this spell is cast on a small amount of custard or custard powder, it becomes infected with a mildly contagious cough capable of affecting one humanoid (not the spellcaster) on contact within the spell's duration. The custard can be delivered by any means including using it as the material component for another Kustard-type spell. The victim must save vs. Poison (at +2 if none of the custard is at all ingested) to resist the effects. The illness causes frequent but mild coughing fits which expel small amounts of custard instead of phlegm. Humanoids near the victim must also save at +2 when coughing is going on. Anyone who saves is immune to that particular casting of the spell. The illness has a short duration of only 6d8 hours and an incubation period of 1 hour. Every round there is a 50% chance that a victim will be affected, unable to cast spells and with a -4 penalty to hit. ====================== Name: Klaus' Kreeping Korroding Kustard (3rd) (Alteration) Range: 2'/level Components: V,S,M Duration: 10 rounds Casting time: 1 round Area of effect: N/a Saving throw: 1/2 From a small dollop of custard, this spell creates a mobile blob of corrosive, slow-moving custard about two feet in diameter. It can change its form and move at a speed of 4. It has 5 HD, AC 8 and a THAC0 of 16, and corrodes things it comes into contact with (see Puddings, Deadly for other general details). This effect is weak and will not take effect until the end of the round after contact. The affected area will smoke (if metal), sting (if skin) etcetera giving warning and time to try and remove the remaining custard. Damage to creatures is 2d6, halved by a successful save vs. Acid. The blob is unlikely to destroy a heavy obstacle such as a thick metal door or stone slab during the spell's duration. The blob is controlled by the caster, but does not need to be actively concentrated on to continue with its task/s and can be instructed during the round of casting. After the spell expires, the custard reverts to a normal dollop. ======================== Name: Klaus' Killer Kustard Koypu (3rd) (Alteration) Range: 15 yards Components: V,S,M Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting time: 3 Area of effect: N/a Saving throw: Special This spell requires enough custard - which need not be fresh - to fill a small bowl. The custard is expanded into 2d6+1/level custard-coloured coypu (large beaver-like South American rodents). They will rapidly attach themselves to the nearest humanoids (within 5 yards if possible, but probably only up to 3 coypu per person) and mill inquisitively around them wherever they go saying 'Nyip!' repeatedly in a most annoying fashion. Victims who fail to save vs. Spell attack the coypu in preference to the real targets, unless the real targets are attacking them as well. Spellcasters who fail an INT roll are distracted. Coypu harassing a person will impede them, reducing their movement rate by 3 per coypu. If they try to move faster there is a 30% chance per round (for a medium-sized creature) of tripping over a coypu, 15% for large and small creatures. If any coypu are attacked, harmed or have someone trip over them, all coypu attached to the person in question will promptly become slavering killer coypu and attack them until slain or the spell expires. They have 1 HD, AC 8 and a THAC0 of 18 with one bite attack for 1d4 points of damage. When the spell expires, they dissolve into gooey custard. ======================= Name: Klaus' Kustard Kwicksand (4th) (Alteration) Range: 0 Components: V,S,M Duration: 1 hour Casting time: 4 Area of effect: 3' radius/level, 8' deep Saving throw: None This spell is cast while pouring some sour custard onto the ground. The custard spreads rapidly outwards and forms a circular quagmire; the caster can control the rate of growth to give himself time to get away. The sides of the quagmire are extremely steep, and the surface consists mostly of the material that was there originally (albeit with a yellow tinge) making it difficult to notice except for the smell of off milk. Creatures of Small size or larger falling in will sink whenever they move significantly - probably submerging after eight movements for Small creatures and four for Medium ones. Large creatures will sink much faster, but the pit will probably not be deep enough to drown them. Unless the victims can find something to pull themselves out with, they will probably have to wait until the spell expires when they become trapped in solid ground and must be dug out of whatever encases them. Move rate when touching the bottom is 1, or 2 if an Open Doors roll can be made. If people approach the quagmire they will suspect something if they roll a 1-2 on 1d6, or (if hurrying) on a 1 only. If successful, a DEX roll will allow them to avoid falling in, with a -2 penalty if there is nothing nearby to grab hold of. ==================== Name: Klaus' Konvincing Kounterfeit Kustard Kwasi-Kurrency (2nd) (Alteration) Range: Touch Components: S,M Duration: 2 hours +1 hour/level Casting time: 2 Area of effect: 1 lump of custard. Saving throw: None The spell turns an equivalent volume of custard into 50 gold pieces per caster level. The gold created is perfect in all respects, other than the suspicious taste of custard. ====================== Name: Klaus' Kulinary Kustard Kreation (1st) (Conjuration) Range: 1' /level Components: V Duration: Instantaneous Casting time: 1 Area of effect: 4x4x4 inch cube per level Saving throw: Neg. This spell creates about 60 cubic inches of custard per caster level - useful for getting hold of components for other Kustard spells. ======================= Name: Klaus' Kustard Kounteracting Kloak (3rd) (Alteration) Range: Touch Components: V,S,M Duration: 1 Round/level Casting time: 3 Area of effect: 1 Cloak Saving throw: N/a When this spell is cast on a cloak, then that cloak cannot be affected by custard (magical or nonmagical) except that resulting from spells of 4th level and above, and will move to protect its wearer. For example, if a large amount of custard lands on the wearer's head, the hood (if down) will lift up and the custard will run off. None of the effect will penetrate to the protected person.If necessary the cloak can totally seal up over the wearer's face to prevent them being drowned by custard or blinded by a pie. It is advisable to use a hooded cloak with this spell. The cloak turns custard-coloured for the duration and returns to normal afterwards. ======================= Name: Klaus' Kustard Kleanup (1st) (Conjuration) Range: 1' /level Components: V,S,M Duration: 1 round Casting time: 1 Area of effect: 5' radius/level Saving throw: N/a This spell is cast on a container, and over the duration of the spell all the custard within range of the container is drawn in towards it. Custard securely contained elsewhere will not be able to move, and custard behind solid objects may take some time to get around them; otherwise all custard in range will probably be in the container (space permitting) within twenty seconds or so. The container can be moved around to pick up custard from a larger area. This spell would be useful for clearing up laboratories after failed attempts to research other custard spells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To find out more about the anon service, send mail to help@anon.penet.fi.
