From: Riccardo Facchetti Subject: Re: Call for spells (second try) To: wsbusr1@urc.tue.nl Date: Tue, 21 Dec 93 13:02:32 MET Hello, i send you a spell i developed, may be you have alredy seen this on the ADND-L list, but .... just to be sure :) This is my last posting of the spell to the list: Ciao, Riccardo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi there, here it is the final release of my spell. Thanks to all the people that have sent me their comments and suggestions, and to my DM for HIS suggestions :) Now i think this is the final release of this spell. To the mantainers of NET.*BOOK: (i've lost the address and now i have no time to search it out :) yup, if you find this spell of any interest, you can include it you your book. Sorry to post it after so many time elapsed, but i have my tests to do (just the time to pass the hard ones :) I hope you will enjoy it. here the ChangeLog of the spell: - added school: enchantment/charme for completness - modifyed Casting time: as noted by most ppl, 1 turn is really too much for a combat spell. It is modifyed to 1 Round - modified and specified the possible source of the elemental - added the case of spell fail - s.o. have suggested to change the kind of rolls of the spell, but i think this is the simpler way to handle the throw. - added handling of DS elementals Ciao, Riccardo. PS: comments are welcome of course :) -- START Bass's Elemental Domination (enchantment/charme) Sphere: Elemental (all) Level: 6 Range: 80 yards Components: V, S, M Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 round Area of Effect: 1 Conjured Elemental Saving Throw: Special Description: This spell enable the caster to assume the control of an elemental creature conjured by another spellcaster or magic device. Magic devices are considered as spellcasters of 12th level. The domination have success with a base likely- hood of 11 on 1d20 (50 %, you must make an 11 or better) modified with the following: - if the caster is of higher level with respect of the conjurer you must subtract the difference of level from the base throw. (you have a better chance of success) - if the caster is of lower level with respect of the conjurer you must add the difference of level from the base throw. (you have a worse chance of success) - if the caster is an elementalist s/he have an additional modifier: -2 if the elemental is of the same school of the caster +2 if the elemental is of the opposite school of the caster +0 in any other case. - at DM option you can modify the throw with something we may call the will- power: WIS bonus for clerics, INT bonus for mages, the better of the two for cleric/mages subtract (or add) the difference of willpower of the two spellcasters (of course pay attention to the sign of the number) If the spell fails, the elemental attacks the spellcaster who casted the Domination for at least 4 rounds of fury without control, then the conjurer can restart to control the elemental(i.e. he can choose to let the elemental finish the work or command it to a different target). The duration of the spell is 1 turn/level but it cannot be in any case higher of the remaining time of the conjuration spell (see PHB pag. 227, pag. 232). The material component is the caster's Holy Symbol. - Dark Sun setting: In DS setting this spell will work differently with respect on how powerful is the elemental to be dominated: If you try to dominate a LESSER elemental the duration of the spell is increased by 3 turns (Duration: 3 turns + 1 turn/level) If you try to dominate a NORMAL elemental the spell works as described above If you try to dominate a GREAT elemental the spell works only on an elemental of your school, whitout any same-school bonus and the duration of the spell is 1/4 of the normal (Duration: 1 turn/4 levels) NB: this spell can be casted only on elementals that are conjured, and works only for elementals that are alredy controlled by another spellcaster -- END OF SPELL -- Riccardo Facchetti | e-mail: riccardo@cdc835.cdc.polimi.it Centro di Calcolo | Politecnico di Milano | News : netnews@cdc835.cdc.polimi.it | Irc : irc@cdc835.cdc.polimi.it snail-mail: | Nickname on IRC: Allanon | Home address: | The Big Bass said:"kill 'em quickly, Via PAOLO VI, 29 | or you'll be cooked by their spells" 22053 - Lecco - Italy | ------------------------------------------------------------------
