From: tsc0265@rigel.tamu.edu (CHENG, TEH S) Subject: [ad&d] new cleric spells Date: 24 Sep 90 02:26:49 GMT ok ed, heres a couple of spells for clerics **warning: long!** striking(invocation) lvl: 1 components: v,m range: 0 casting tie: 2 segments duration: 5 rds + 1rd/lvl saving throw: n/a area/effect: 1 weapon/4 lvls the use of this spell calls down upn a specially consecrated weapon of a believer, the enediction of his/her deity. this spell only works for those of the same faith as the caster and the weapons used must have been previously dedicated to that deity through a _ceremony_ spell. once these conditions have been met, the spell endows the weapon with a glowing, magical aura that inflict an additonal 1d6 points of damage per blow struck. this additonal damage will affect creatures that are struck only by magic weapons of +2 or less(while the weapon itself many do no damage to these creatures). note: this spell will not affect weapons which are +2 or better. the material components are the cleric's holy(unholy) symbol and the consecrated weapon. cure medium wounds(divination)reversible lvl: 2 components: v,s,m range: touch casting time: 6 seg. duration: permanent saving throw: none area/effect: creature touched this spell is the same in all respects as the 1st level spell _cure light wounds_ except that 3d4 ponts of damage are cured. awake(evocation/alteration) lvl: 4 compnents: v,s.m range: 0 casting time: 5 seg. duration: permenant saving throw: none area/effect: 3" radius when this spell is cast, the cleric invokes the blessings of his/her deity and claps his/her hands sharply once. the sound of the clap allows all creatures within the area of effect who hears it to awaken. sleeping(naturally or magically induced) creatures will wake up. those under the influence of mind affecting drugs/substances will become coherent for 1 round per level of the caster. creatures who's minds are under some sort of foreign influence (ie. charmed, hyptonized, dominated, enthralled, etc. but _not_ possesed) get a second saving throw. in any case, all creatures within the effect will experience a temporary clarity of thought. note, this may make the subject more vunlerable to any mind based eavesdropping such as ESP or empathy. the material component for this spell is a 1,000 gp gem hanging on a chain which must be wound around the cleric's hand while he/she claps. godrage(alteration/evocation-enchantment) lvl: 5 components: v,s,m range: 0 casting time: 4 seg. duration: 1 rd/lvl saving throw: none area/effect: self by casting this spell, the cleric calls down the attention of his/her divinity and invokes the righteous wrath of the deity. as the eartly essel for this godrage, the cleric goes beserk. he/she will for the duration of the spell, instinctively attack in melee combat any unbelivers(creatures of a differing alignment) within a 6" radius, giving preference to the most extreme alignments first. the spell does not give knowledge of specific alignments, only a feeling of who is the most worthy of being punished. note use of this spell may result in the cleric attacking his/her own party members. while under the effects of the spell, the cleric attacks on the fighter table and gains a temporary skill level with his/her weapons (note: in my world, specialization is more developed and certain clerics can specialize to some degree, those who are not specialized, gain the basic level of specialization for the duration of this spell). furthermore, the presence of the divinity surrounds the cleric in the form of an aura that reduces all damage taken by the cleric by 2 points(1 point minimum). godrage is a state not unlike the beserkergang, but it differs in that while the cleric engages solely in physical combat, he/she is still able to make intelligent decisions on how combat is to be conducted. after the spell ends, the cleric must rest 1 round for every 2 rounds under the spells effect. the components for this spell is the cleric's body, a short verbal sermon given to the unbelivers and a consecrated weapon. hidden champion(alteration/enchantment) lvl: 5 components: v,s,m range: touch casting time: 1 hour duration: 1 day/lvl saving throw: neg area/effect: one sentinent creature through the use of this spell, the cleric establishes a link between his/her lifeforce and the subject creature's. the effect of this link is that one-half the damage sustained by one, is transferred to the other. this link is evidenced by a golden, pulsing thread connecting the two through the ethereal plane. when the link is in existance, the two creatures cannot be more than 1 mile per level of the spell caster apart or the link will snap, ending the spell. those able to perceive the ethereal plane can see this link. note that the damage transfer is two way. a duly consecrated alter, holy/unholy water, an approriate sacrifice(dm's discretion) and the creature to be linked with are the material components for this spell. side note: i used this for an evil cleric the party was trying to kill. the cleric kidnapped the betrothed ?sp? of the palidin and performed this ceremony upon her. this really messed up the party since, now they couldn't just rush in and hack up the cleric in an orgasm of hack-n-slash. they had to capture the cleric and remove him >from his santuary alive. (i run consecrated grounds as being "home field" for clerics and VERY disadvantageous for would be desecrators. example: -1 penalty on everything per alignment difference, cumulative bless for the clerics *hee* *hee* and generally "bad luck" for the attackers) mass cure(necromantic)reversible lvl: 6 components: v,s,m range: 0 casting time: 7 segments duration: permanent saving throw: none area of effect: 1" radius/lvl when this spell is cast, every creature in the area of effect (including the caster) up to one creature per level of the caster is cured for 1d8 plus 1/2 the level of the caster points of damage. this is as if a _cure light wounds_ spell. the limitations on what creatures can be thus affected is as per that spell. if more creatures than can be affected are with the spell radius, preference is given to those closest to the cleric. also, if a near creature is not affectable by the spell, it still counts towards the total number of possible creatures cured. the reverse of the spell does the same amount of points of damage to all within the spell radius. the material components for this spell is a vial of holy/unholy water that must be sprinkled into the air above the caster's head while the spell is cast. lifeforce(alteration/evocation) lvl: 7 components: v,s,m range: 9" casting time: 8 seg duration: permanent saving throw: none area/effect: caster and target creature throught the use of this spell, the caster is pitting his/her lifeforce against that of the target creature. this is the pure confronation of two being's will to live. each rolls a d20 and adds it to his/her/its CURRENT hit points. this can be modified by bless, chant, prayer, ring of protection, cloak of protection, luckstone, luck sword, wisdom bonus, etc. if the target creature's total is less than 1/2 the caster's total, then the taret creature is overwhelmed and dies (in this case, the caster suffers fatigue equal to 1/2 the target's roll in hit points). if the target creature's total is less than the caster's total but more than 1/2 the caster's total, then the target is stunned for 2d4 rounds (-5 to AC, initiatives, saves, "to hit" and damage rolls) and the caster suffers fatigue equal to the difference in totals. if the target's total is more than the caster's, then the cster dies and the target suffers damage equal to the difference in totals. fatigue is recovered at a rate of 1 hit point per round. the material component for this spell is the cleric's holy/unholy symbol, a pair of ivory six-sided dice(worth 200gp) and a drop of the caster's blood. here is some spells i use. also, you might try looking in other sources such as oriental adventures, ares magus, etc and adapting spells. hope this helps! :) ========================================================================= No disclaimer... | *CSC Outcast* I deny everything! | tsc0265@tamrigel ========================================================================= From: tsc0265@rigel.tamu.edu (CHENG, TEH S) Subject: [ad&d] druid spells Date: 24 Sep 90 23:58:25 GMT NOTE: alot of these spells were from two articles in dragon(tm) or converted from oriental adventures. i've only included only a few of my own. i'll get them posted as when i have time to type them in. also: wherever you see a <>>><> that is where wp translated the 1/2 in wp to ascii.

However the tracking spell is better. Using this spell, the druid becomes not only aware of all physical traces, but also pyschic traces too.

There are some restrictions though. The druid must have an item that belonged to the creature being tracked. Futhermore tracking with this spell must begin at a point that the creature has been within the past half hour. The other component for the spell is mistletoe of course.

Damage from these claws will affect creatures that can only be hit by +3 or less magic weapons. But, the claws are not magical. Note that the claws does not affect the druid's spell casting ability or his capability to hold or manipulate objects. To cast this spell, the druid needs a sprig of mistletoe and a claw from a lion.

Fourth Level Spells: Meandering Path(Alteration-Enchantment/Illusion) Level: 4 Components: V,S,M Range: 1 + 1/2 mile/lvl Casting Time: Special Duration: 1 day/lvl Saving Throw: Special Area of Effect: path traveled Explanation/Description: With this spell, the druid causes a path (which appears to be natural, old, man-made, etc) to appear. Any who come across this path will believe it to be what it appears. To cast the spell, the druid needs two branches from an oak tree. One is planted at the beginning of the path. The druid then walks the path that he wishes the magical path to follow. At the end of the path the other branch is planted and the spell is cast. Travel upon the path is either easy or hard (depending on the druid's choice of travel). Those who happen on the path must make a saving throw. Average the hit dice/levels of the group and roll one saving throw(DM does this without the group's knowledge). If they fail, the path then appears to be headed in the direction that they wish to travel. If the save is made, the path appears as it is (ie. a path in the direction that the druid walked) and the group may still decide to follow it anyway. While traveling on this path, the group will never suprise anyone/anything and suffers a penalty of on all rolls (saves, to hit, damage, dex checks, etc.). Those trying to leave the path after traveling upon it find that the path is bordered by heavy thorns that block passage and writhes and grasps all who enter(cf wall of thorns & entangle). This wall attacks as the druid doing 1d6+2 points of damage. Each 10' section of thorns has 3 attacks. The wall arches over the path to prevent exit by flying/leaping/etc. The spell also counters the natural ability of pass without trace of other druids. Fire results in a double strength wall of fire in that area (but it DOES NOT create a passable space, i.e. take fire damage and still be attacked by thorns). The only way to leave the path is to follow it to its end (or teleport, go ethereal, plane shift). A dispel magic is possible only on the oak branches at the end of the path(either one). Possess Animal(Charm/Enchantment) Level: 4 Components: V,S Range: 100" + 10"/lvl Casting Time: 3 rds Duration: 3 turns + 1 turn/level Saving Throw: Neg.

The creature must be a normal creature and have fewer hit dice than the druid. The animal is allowed a saving throw versus spell and if successful the spell has no effect. Once the animal is possessed, the druid can cause it to do anything within its ability, regardless of the consequences to the animal. However, for every point of damage suffered by the animal, the druid suffers 1/2 a point of damage. In addition, should the animal die while under the control of the shukenga, a system shock roll must be made. If the roll is failed, the druid also dies. While controlling the animal, the druid's body enters a catatonic state. If the body is disturbed or moved, the spell is disrupted. The material component for this spell is a holly leaf and some hair from the animal. Fifth Level Spells: Stonewood(Alteration) Level: 5 Components: V,S,M Range: Touch Casting Time: 3 turns Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Special(one object) Explanation/Description: When the druid casts a stonewood and touches a wooden object, the wood in that object is magically enhanced and given a stonelike strength. The altered wood is in every way the same as untreated wood(i.e. texture, color, weight, flexibility, etc.) except for the stonelike strength and hardness. An object of up to 100 square feet ' 1 inch per level of the druid of wood can be affected by this spell. To cast this spell, the druid needs mistletoe and a gemstone of at least 500 gp. Viper's Bite(Alteration) Level: 5 Components: V,S,M Range: 0 Casting Time: 4 segments Duration: 1 round/3 levels Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: Self Explanation/Description: The viper's bite spell causes the druids teeth to become exceptionally sharp and hollow like the fangs of a viper.

If the save is successful, the victim still become lethargic and woozy(-1 on STR, DEX and initiative rolls). The effects of the poison are cumulative for multiple bites. Like the lion's claw spell, this spell allows the druid to bite those creatures hit only by +3 magical weapons. Again, the bite is not considered a magical weapon attack.

Warp Metal(Alteration) Level: 5 Components: V,S,M Range: 1"/4 levels Casting Time: 7 segment Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 5 pounds per level of caster Explanation/Description: This spell is similar to the druidic second level spell warp wood except that metal is the substance affected. For those objects that posses structural strength, this spell does 1 point of structural damage per 3 levels of the caster. Against metal creatures(i.e. iron golems) the spell inflicts 1d4+1 points of damage per level of the caster(save for 1/2). Sixth Level Spells: Polymorph into Tree(Alteration/Enchantment)Reversible Level: 6 Components: V,S,M Range: 6" Casting Time: 8 segments Duration: Permanent Saving Throw: Neg Area of Effect: 1 creature/2 lvls Explanation/Description: This spell is similar to the polymorph other spell except that target creatures can only be turned into trees (usually oak). All creatures get a saving throw to avoid the effects of this spell. Those who fail turn into trees with their minds trapped within. Clothing, possession, etc. are not transformed as part of the spell. Those who save, feel their limbs turn wooden and stiff(effects as if a slow spell were cast upon them. duration 2 rds per lvl of the druid). To cast this spell, the druid needs a sprig of holly and tree sap from the tree type to which the targets are being polymorphed into. Only a wish or a higher level druid can reverse the effects of this spell. Seventh Level Spells: Awaken Forest(Alteration/Invocation)Reversible Level: 7 Components: V,S,M Range: 10 + 1 mile/lvl radius Casting Time: 2 hours Duration: 1 hour/lvl Saving Throw: None Area of Effect: 10 + 1 mile/lvl radius Explanation/Description: With this ceramony, the druid call upon and wakens the spirit of the forest. The effects are that the druid becomes one with the trees in the area of effect. Whatever happens in that area, the druid instantaneously knows. He has the power to cause 1 tree/lvl within that area to animate as if it were a treant. Any real treants in the area become aware of him and receptive to any suggestions made by the druid. The druid can also subtly affect all normal animals within the area of effect. A changestaff (cf. changestaff spell) is needed to if any trees are animated. Each tree animated reduced the changestaff by one hit die. SUGGESTION; loook in oriental adventures. the wu jen spell list has ALOT of covertable spells for druids. these are the earth, fire, air & water schools. ==================================================================== NO Disclaimer... | *CSC Outcast* I deny everything! | tsc0265@tamrigel ====================================================================
