These are rules that, as long as caster and companions follow them, must be followed by foes. Failure to follow a precept will cause a foe to become unable to act for an hour, while shamefully contemplating their failure. Example precepts: never threaten, never cover the head, never run.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-66835955436501998122011-01-30T09:05:48.134-08:002011-01-30T09:05:48.134-08:00Thanks folks!

I used to love the spells with personal names in them in 1e too-- they evoked a lot of history and a sense you could make your own spells (thus my blog name).<br /><br />@Zak: I'm hopeful, when a government has to turn off the internet I think they've already lost. I'll add some of these to the gigacrawler page.<br /><br />@C'nor: like it. What if it affected any material the caster was holding? Cut a distant rope, doues a distant torch, etc.<br /><br />@Rubberduck: thanks, would be an eerie spell for an enemy caster.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-21159582909090575962011-01-29T03:00:15.619-08:002011-01-29T03:00:15.619-08:00The Night of Four Times

All creatures within line of sight of the area of effect must make a save vs spells or be blinded for 1d6 rounds, as a dazzling bright light baths the area of effect, dispelling any darkness spells that might be in effect within. All creatures within the area of effect do not get a save.The Rubberduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585052552943070379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-68928320654171695112011-01-28T14:14:41.295-08:002011-01-28T14:14:41.295-08:00Diamond cut Diamond:

The time in which these effects will be transferred is the first half of the duration; the effects are the second.C'nor (Outermost_Toe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580315916281876117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-56568514318612700472011-01-28T10:55:03.411-08:002011-01-28T10:55:03.411-08:00If I didn't have a game in a few hours I'd...If I didn't have a game in a few hours I'd write those up for Gigacrawler right now.<br /><br />As is, I'll probably play, work while listening to a bunch of stuff about Egypt, complain about it all night and completely forget about it.Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-46372808372194997302011-01-28T10:27:13.359-08:002011-01-28T10:27:13.359-08:00Very cool.

Now that Goblinoid Games has released the LL in plain text I'm very tempted to produce a little spell book with these sorts of names replacing the boring old "Magic missile" spell names. Maybe for the next campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-45418543026684760392011-01-28T10:03:54.667-08:002011-01-28T10:03:54.667-08:00I really, really like this list of spell names.

I know that I would be more excited about finding references in a game to spells with such evocative yet obscure meaning than I would for more straightforward spell names.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333781524640845035noreply@blogger.com
