[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5716053, member: 35909"] Thread necro! I was thinking of adding a level 10 ability to imprison a foe as the spell. How is this? [sblock]Gravity Well (Su): Once per day, against a foe he threatens and that is under the effect of Warding Takedown, a 10th level Disciple may cause the pentagram ward to glow brightly as a standard action, clinging to the victim and dragging him deep down into the earth. This functions as the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/imprisonment.htm]Imprisonment[/url] spell, using your HD as the caster level, with a will save to resist (DC 10 +class level + wisdom modifer), and including the -4 penalty on the save if you know the target's name and facts about its life. You may only keep one creature imprisoned through this ability at a time per point of wisdom bonus you possess. At anytime thereafter, as a free (mental) action, you may choose to release an imprisoned creature to the location where you imprisoned him, as if by a Freedom spell, no matter what distance away you are, or even if you are on another plane. If a creature you have entombed is freed or released, you immediately become aware. If at any point your wisdom modifer is reduced such that you cannot sustain the amount of creatures you have imprisoned, you must immediately choose to relase enough beings to be within your new limit. If you should perish and are not raised, each imprisoned creature receives a new will save to gain freedom every year on the anniversary of your demise.[/sblock] My friend thinks that is needlessly complicated and shouldn't have limits, so this would be his simplified, stripped down version. I like the flavor and empathic connection in mine better, but his is definitely more easy to run.
