Since it has no swarm attack now, are we dropping the distraction?

I'd rather keep it and tweak the wording so it affects engulfed opponents.

Ready to work out the spells?

Once we agree on the distraction...

Hmm, you can guess I'd rather drop the distraction. Let's call upon Shade for this one.

Hmm, well I suppose we could wait for Shade or...

Hey! Look over there!! An aardvark!!!

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn engulfed by Protiston must succeed on a DC 61 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

I'd like to drop it.

I'd like to drop it.

Dang it, my Aardvark of Distraction only seems to have affected freyar.

Never match wits with a Sicilian when death is on the line....

I'm too busy being involved in a land war in central Asia.

On to the spells now?

Sure.

Protiston is highly intelligent and has gained the powers of a 12th-level magic-user, being able to cast spells like push, shield, continual darkness/light, ray of enfeeblement, stinking cloud (above water), hold person, protection from normal missiles, slow, hallucinatory terrain, plant growth, cloudkill (above water), hold monster, telekinesis, transmute rock to mud, and control weather. Other spells may be possible, but no spell will be used that involves fire or that considers other beings to be intelligent (such as charm spells).

There's more about how the casting power "varies," but nothing specific. What do you think, caster level varying in that table in the working draft?

Well, I don't want to have to recalculate the spell selection for different-sized divisions, but I could see adding a DC or caster level penalty to the Self-Division Table.

To the death?
No. To the pain.
