Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]

Level: Asn 1, Clr 1, Sor/Wiz 1

Components: S, M

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: Touch

Area: One helpless creature

Duration: 1 hour/level

Saving Throw: Fortitude negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

The caster places one creature already helpless in a clouded, confused state that does not allow the subject to think clearly or take actions. The effect is similar to being drugged. The subject can be moved and even forced to walk on her own if dragged along, but she is unaware of what is going on around her.

Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)

Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The creature touched is immune to the possibility of addiction to drugs. He still experiences the negative and positive effects of drugs during the spell’s duration. This spell does not free the target from the effects of an addiction already incurred. If the spell ends before the effects of a drug wear off, the normal chance for addiction applies.

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Target: One evil creature

Duration: 1 round

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

Your words allow the target creature the merest glimpse of the blessed joy of the Seven Heavens, spurring the target to a moment of regret for its evil deeds. For 1 round, the target is dazed. In addition, the creature is more susceptible to future redemption. For the next 24 hours, the creature takes a –1 penalty on all Will saves related to redemption (see Chapter 2).

 

IMPEDE

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

Level: Cleric 1

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft/level)

Target: One humanoid creature

Duration: 1 round/level (D)

Saving Throw: Will partial

Spell Resistance: Yes

Your will clamps down on the subject's mind, making the slightest movement a strenuous effort.

This spell locks the subject in place. An affected creature is capable of taking actions, such as attacking or casting spells, but it cannot step from its current square (or squares, if it occupies more than one). The subject also takes a -1 penalty on melee attack rolls and a -2 penalty on Reflex saves while so rooted.

If the subject succeeds on the initial Will save, it suffers no ill effects and the spell ends immediately. If it fails the initial save, it can attempt a new Will save every round thereafter. Once the subject succeeds on one of these secondary saves, it can move, but its base speed is reduced by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet) for the duration of the spell. If the subject has multiple modes of movement, each is reduced accordingly.

If the subject is already under an effect that curtails its ability to move (such as slow or hold person), it also takes a -4 penalty to Dexterity for the duration of this spell, even if the other effect ends before this one does.

You feel your deity speaking through you to other gods, filling the space around you with diverse divine energies that strengthen your ally.

When you cast interfaith blessing, every creature within range is individually blessed by its own deity for the duration of the spell. The specific blessing gained depends on the particular deity worshiped, as given on the table below. A subject that venerates more than one deity must roll randomly to determine which blessing is received.

Deity                                                     Blessing

Bahamut, St. Cuthbert, or Yondalla                  +1 on attack rolls and saves

Ease pain immediately removes any lingering effects of pain, including penalties imposed by symbol of pain, angry ache, and similar spells. It does not heal any damage or other effects not directly related to pain.

If the target creature is under some effect that causes continuing damage, the pain is eased only for a moment. Ease pain cannot bypass the need for a Concentration check to cast a spell under such circumstances,

nor can it allow a creature subject to death by thorns to act normally (since the spell’s damage is ongoing).

 

Lastai’s Caress

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Good, Mind-Affecting]

Level: Cleric 2, Pleasure 2

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Touch

Target: One known evil creature touched

Duration: 1 round/level

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: Yes

Your gentle touch fills the target with tremendous feelings of love and compassion, and has the power to unnerve and debilitate evil creatures. You must succeed on a melee touch attack to affect an unwilling target. It has no effect on a creature that you do not know is evil.

An evil creature touched by the spell must wrestle with the pleasant feelings invoked by the spell. Roll on the table below at the beginning of the creature’s turn each round to see what condition applies to the subject in that round.

d4  Condition

1   Cowering

2   Frightened

3   Nauseated

Instead of rolling on the table above, the caster may elect to leave the creature shaken for the duration of the spell.

TURN ANATHEMA

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind Affecting and Chaotic, Evil, Good, or Lawful]

Level: Blackguard 2, cleric 2, paladin 2

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Personal

Target: You

Duration: 10 minutes/level

When you clutch your holy symbol, it pulses briefly with divine power, then grows oddly cold beneath your fingers.

Choose one non-neutral aspect of your own alignment—chaotic, evil, good, or lawful. If you are neutral, you must choose an alignment component for this spell when you first cast it, and this choice cannot be altered for subsequent castings unless your alignment has changed in such a way as to make that choice unsuitable. The spell takes on the descriptor of the selected alignment component.

Upon casting this spell, you can use one of your daily turn or rebuke attempts to turn creatures with the opposing alignment subtype as though they were undead. For instance, if you cast turn anathema as a good spell, you could attempt to turn creatures of the evil subtype, such as demons. You could not, however, turn a red dragon, because although it is an evil creature, it lacks the evil subtype. This spell allows only turning, not rebuking or destroying, even if you normally rebuke rather than turn. You can use as many of your daily turn/rebuke attempts as you wish in this way for the duration of the spell.

It removes any lingering psychological effects of torture (including the increased effectiveness of torture devices, as described in the Book of Vile Darkness). It cures confusion and insanity, restores 2d4 points of Wisdom damage (but not permanent Wisdom drain), and leaves the targets feeling refreshed and at peace.

If you worship a deity that provides access to the Trickery domain—even if you did not choose that domain—these modifiers rise to -3 and +3, respectively. Furthermore, the subject cannot make attacks of opportunity against you.

If you successfully cast this spell on the same subject in each of 2 consecutive rounds, these beneficial effects extend to your allies as well.

BEWILDERING MISCHANCE

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

Level: Adept 5, cleric 5, shugenja 5

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft. /2 levels)

Target: One living creature

Duration: 1 round/level

Saving Throw: Will negates

Spell Resistance: Yes

Your deity's laughter rains down on your suddenly clumsy foe. Bewildering mischance causes extreme bad luck to befall the target. For the duration of the spell, the subject must roll each saving throw, attack roll, and skill check twice, keeping the lower of the two rolls.

 

MARK OF SIN

Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]

Level: Cleric 5

Components: V, S, DF

Casting Time: 1 full round

Range: Touch

Target: Creature touched

Duration: 1 round/level or permanent; see text

Saving Throw: Will partial

Spell Resistance: Yes

You bring forth the subject's inner sins and crimes, causing them to manifest in its appearance and aura.

Your successful touch attack leaves a mystical mark upon the subject. After a number of rounds equal to your divine caster level, the subject is entitled to a Will save. Success ends the spell at that point, but failure renders the mark of sin permanent.

Though the mark is invisible, all living creatures can sense its presence and are repulsed by it. Thus, they begin their initial interactions with the subject one step nearer to a hostile attitude than they normally would, unless they already know the subject personally. Furthermore, the subject takes a -10 circumstance penalty on all Diplomacy checks designed to change the attitudes of others. (See Diplomacy, PH 71. )

In addition, the subject takes a -4 penalty to a specific ability score based on your deity, as given in the table for the divine retribution spell (page 119). This penalty cannot be removed in any way as long as the mark of sin remains, if you do not worship a deity, you must choose one whose alignment is within one step of your own when you cast this spell for the first time. This choice is for the purpose of this effect only, and you cannot subsequently change it unless your alignment shifts in such a way that your previous choice is no longer applicable.

A mark of sin cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell. Remove curse works only if its caster level is equal to or higher than that of the mark of sin.

All NPC reactions begin one category worse than they otherwise would (see page 72 of the Player’s Handbook), and any Diplomacy checks to moderate those reactions take a –10 circumstance penalty. Furthermore, people view the target in the worst possible light. If, for example, a community is hunting for an unknown murderer, they will assume that the subject of the spell is guilty of the crime. Player characters and NPCs who know the subject well, such as old friends or loved ones, are unaffected.

Material Component: One ounce of bile.

Note: Magic traps, such as symbol of thirst, are hard to detect and disable. A rogue (only) can use the Search skill to find a symbol of thirst and Disable Device to thwart it. The DC in each case is 25 + spell level, or 32 for symbol of thirst.

Allies who worship the same deity as you are infused with the righteous wrath. They gain one additional melee attack each round, at their highest attack bonus, and a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls and saving throws.

FAMILIAL GEAS

Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]

Level: Bard 6, cleric 8, sorcerer/wizard 8

Components: V

Casting Time: 10 minutes

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Target: One living creature

Duration: Until discharged

Saving Throw: None or Will negates; see text

Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell is a far more potent version of geas. The duration of the geas is unlimited; it lasts until the subject(s) either discharge the obligation or the effect is dispelled.

The initial subject of the spell gains no save, as per a standard geas (see page 234 of the Player’s Handbook). If the target dies before completing the obligation, the geas transfers to his closestadult relative. This new subject is entitled to a save; if she succeeds, the geas is broken and the spell ends. If not, she labors under the geas until she either completes the obligation, succeeds in dispelling the geas, or dies and potentially passes the geas to her closest adult relative.

Each new subject has an instinctive understanding of the nature of the obligation. A familial geas can be broken only by a successful save on the part of the next successor, remove curse (if cast by someone two caster levels higher than the familial geas), miracle, or wish.

Targets outside the area of the spell may freely attack creatures in the area without taking damage from this spell.
