[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 2574995, member: 6562"] Check the listing for Hell Hound. These two were even cheaper than template application. :) That would require better poison rules than what the SRD provides. I suspect it would grow quite naturally from such rules. It gives a bit more flexibility to Corrupt metamagic, which I like. I'd suggest that a BBEG would take ONE type of ability damage and write that next to each spell level for which he has Corrupt spells prepared (or available). If he throws around a lot of Evocations, he'd probably target your Dex. If he wanted to subdue captives who were fighting his infernal minions, he might use Str damage. If he wanted to kill you, he'd use Con damage... etc. Pick one and stick with it. So [i]slow[/i] and [i]magic missile[/i] can poison you? I just don't buy it. My version requires that you take damage, and most importantly it can't be put into a Wand for minions to use. Also, I think it's important to have the poison strength (and damage) scale with spell level. That means I'm only going to be happy with a table of some sort. :) Arcane Fire is indeed nifty, but I don't think it's an appropriate ability for a 10 level PrC. 10d6 damage from a cantrip? 11d6 of (Su) vs. [i]magic missile[/i], hmm... Over the top, IMHO. Thanks for your feedback though! -- N [/QUOTE]
