Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 3194343" data-attributes="member: 141">The CR 10 cap still yields some pretty scary results.  Especially if you add Lore of Circe to the mix.  Check this out:edit: no longer relevant, except for historical interest.[sblock]Abyssal ArmySpellcraft: 31Components: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutesRange: 300 ft.Target: Any number of creatures within range Duration: Permanent (D)Saving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoneRarely used except in horrific retribution upon a superior force, this spell grants each member of your army the form and power of a babau demon. The spell is permanent until you, and only you, dismiss it; typically the words are your announcement of the fulfillment of a particular objective.  20,000 medium-sized troops can squeeze into the area of effect.   Development75 days, 75,000 gp, 3000 xpSeeds: [Polymorph]Feats: Arcane Accoutrement (4 x widen (+12), mass effect (+14), unlimited targets (+4)), Lore of CirceFactors: 3 x widen (+9), dismissible (+2), pernicious (+10)Mitigating factors: Reduced CR (-5), reduced range (-2), reduced duration (-4), increased casting time (-3)**not preferrededit: babau demons have a Pd of 10.  Fire giants are 11, unfortunately, unless we amend the formula (4 + 0.6 x KR).[/sblock]edit2: I forgot that Lore of Circe requires a 20 SP payment to get its effects!  Maybe I should spell it out more clearly in the feat- it sounds like you get permanency for free, and that isn't right.  The above spell is 20 SP more expensive than listed.edit3: Arcane Accoutrement no longer applies to this spell, I should rework the spell entirely.  Also the Reduced CR factor is wrong on a number of accounts: if the WotC CR of a Babau is 6, then the reduced CR factor is -14.  I don't know where -5 came from; I suppose that I thought a babau was CR 10 (worth a -10 reduction) and then thought I had to halve it.  But that's wrong- +1 CR = 2 SP, so it was already halved when it was at -10.  I think the idea of the spell can be salvaged- I'll work on it later today.</blockquote>
