101 Uses for Evards Black Tentacles

[Golandrinel]

I loved this spell as thief/mage many years back. (I'm still not at the 3e PHB spells section yet so I don't know if it's still around).

I'll start the ball rolling with:

1) Cast to make an enraged octopus an amourous one.

2) Make your cardgame a wow with the natives .... what a dealer.

3) DM - "The bandit leaps onto the carriage and cracks the whip. The horses bolt and hurtle off." .... oh no you don't ... the axle snaps as the tentacles grab onto it and the bandit ends up on butt.

4) Running a puppet show? Not enough hands ... ta da!

5) Same as 4 for cooking a banquet.

6) A way to fool fellow party members into believing they've been dropped into a Call of Cthulu campaign.

 

[Apok]

7) Recreate La Blue Girl in d20

 

[Victim]

Cast at a drow wizard (no save, no SR), let tentacles rip him to bits, and watch.

Same thing but with human rogue (monk works too). Evasion this!

9) Slow down the game hideously.

 

[Rackhir]

10) Make a rave seem more populated

11) Substitute for a Mosh Pit.

 

[Henry]

Golandrinel, the example with the carriage axles is phenomenal! I will be clipping that one.

others:

12)cast at bottom of a shallow murky pool, and maneuver foes to cross it. Excellent chance of drowning.

13) cast it to entangle as many opponents as possible, denying them their DEX bonus, and then casting a reflex save spell.

14) Throw them wet soapy sponges and drive your car through them.
