[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 6448003, member: 20805"] Still working on some BBEG effects, this time working on the treasure trove and I realized that EoM spells miss a capability that is pretty iconic... chained lightning. At first I thought to model that with an immediate contingency spell, but basically that doubles the MP cost. Which brings me to the Lightning side effects. While I still think the orginal post has good ideas, I am also thinking of adding the following to Lightning: 1MP: Chaining. If there is another target within 30' of your primary target wearing metal armor, the attack chains to that target. Select the target with the most metal within range, and if there are multiple wearing similar levels of armor select the closest or randomly choose. 3MP: Dual Chain. Select two primary targets within 30', the spell Chains from each target to a secondary target. This can hit a total of 4 targets. The spell cannot hit the same target twice. 5MP: Multi-Chain. Select two primary targets within 30', the spell Dual Chains from each target to a secondary target and then chains to a tertiary target. This can hit a total of 10 targets. The spell cannot hit the same target twice. 8 MP: Mass Chain. Select two primary targets within 30', the spell Dual Chains to secondary targets, Dual Chains to tertiary targets, and then Chains to quaternary targets. This spell can hit a total of 22 targets. The spell cannot hit the same target twice. [/QUOTE]
