Upon pronouncing the curse, you touch the victim, who gets a Constitution saving throw. Failure results in the victim bleeding profusely through the pores of the skin, taking 1-2 hp damage per round until dead. Regular first aid cannot prevent this damage, and most magical curatives have no effect upon the affliction. Such spells as </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><em>remove curse</em></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">, and </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><em>cure wounds</em></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"> can staunch the hemorrhaging, but hit points may be re-gained fully only through time and rest. A </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><em>heal</em></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"> spell, on the other hand, can dispel the results of this evil magic entirely.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">The most horrible property of the crimson scourge, however, lies in the contagiousness of its effects, for whenever an afflicted victim comes into physical contact with someone else, the touched person has to make a Constitution saving throw or become likewise afflicted. Fortunately, you can never suffer the effects of your own crimson scourge. Certain plagues throughout history have, in fact, been attributed to this spell (that often goes by the name of the red death). However, the spell does not really cause a biological illness and is, therefore, unaffected by any spells that cure disease.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">The working of this curse requires that the wizard wear a scarlet robe and a faceless red mask, both made from the finest silk, worth at least a 1,000 gp each.

The vapor billows, shifts, and appears almost sentient even though it is not truly alive. It moves at a rate of 30 ft. per round, seeking out and enveloping the nearest life-form within reach of its gaseous tendrils (possibly attacking you if you do not take precautions). Once the spell is cast, you do not need to concentrate upon the magic in order for its effects to persist. You do not have any control over the mist once the spell is cast. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Tinos'"></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Tinos'"></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-family: 'Tinos'"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">The vapor can flow over 10’ high walls and can seep through even the smallest openings and cracks. It cannot pass through airtight barriers </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">(such as a wall of force or a hermetically sealed door), nor can the mist move across an area of fire.

[QUOTE="Bupp, post: 6694106, member: 6784990"] Here's some necromancy spells I converted from AD&D era Dragon Magazine. [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Grimwald’s Greymantle[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=#666666][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]5th level necromancy[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Casting Time:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 1 action[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Range:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] Touch[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Components:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] V, S, M [/FONT][FONT=Arial](a bone or small animal skeleton)[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Duration:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][FONT=Arial]1 round/level[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]When you casts this spell, a silvery-grey radiance is produced and if the target fails Constitution saving throw, expands to envelop them in an aura, or mantle. While this shimmering radiance is in effect, curative spells, healing, and regeneration of natural or magical nature will not be effective within the confines of the mantle; thus, a troll could not regenerate, a [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]ring of regeneration[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] would not operate, a [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]potion of healing[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] would have no effect, and so forth. [url]http://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2015/01/tome-of-covenant-grimwalds-greymantle.html[/url] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Crimson Scourge[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=#666666][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]5th level necromancy[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Casting Time:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 1 action[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Range:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] Touch[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Components:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] V, S, M (scarlet robe and a faceless red mask, both made from the finest silk, worth at least a 1,000 gp each)[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Duration:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] Special[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]This terrible spell can affect one humanoid being. Upon pronouncing the curse, you touch the victim, who gets a Constitution saving throw. Failure results in the victim bleeding profusely through the pores of the skin, taking 1-2 hp damage per round until dead. Regular first aid cannot prevent this damage, and most magical curatives have no effect upon the affliction. Such spells as [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]remove curse[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial], and [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]cure wounds[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] can staunch the hemorrhaging, but hit points may be re-gained fully only through time and rest. A [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]heal[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] spell, on the other hand, can dispel the results of this evil magic entirely.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]The most horrible property of the crimson scourge, however, lies in the contagiousness of its effects, for whenever an afflicted victim comes into physical contact with someone else, the touched person has to make a Constitution saving throw or become likewise afflicted. Fortunately, you can never suffer the effects of your own crimson scourge. Certain plagues throughout history have, in fact, been attributed to this spell (that often goes by the name of the red death). However, the spell does not really cause a biological illness and is, therefore, unaffected by any spells that cure disease.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]The working of this curse requires that the wizard wear a scarlet robe and a faceless red mask, both made from the finest silk, worth at least a 1,000 gp each. These components are not lost in the casting and may be used as many times as desired. [url]http://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2014/10/crimson-scourge.html[/url] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Vampire Mist[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][COLOR=#666666][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]4th level necromancy[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial][B]Casting Time:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 1 action[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial][B]Range:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 30 ft.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial][B]Components:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] V, S[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial][B]Duration: [/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial]1 minute[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos] [/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial]With this spell, you cause a pale, large sized cloud of chilling vapor to form at any desired spot within a 30’ radius. The vapor billows, shifts, and appears almost sentient even though it is not truly alive. It moves at a rate of 30 ft. per round, seeking out and enveloping the nearest life-form within reach of its gaseous tendrils (possibly attacking you if you do not take precautions). Once the spell is cast, you do not need to concentrate upon the magic in order for its effects to persist. You do not have any control over the mist once the spell is cast. [/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos] [/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial]The vapor can flow over 10’ high walls and can seep through even the smallest openings and cracks. It cannot pass through airtight barriers [/FONT][FONT=Arial](such as a wall of force or a hermetically sealed door), nor can the mist move across an area of fire. The gas avoids open flames, so a you could conceivably keep the vapor at bay with a torch.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos] [/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial]The mist drains blood from any creature caught within its area of effect, doing 3d8 necrotic damage per round. The enveloped creature must make a Constitution saving throw during the first round of damage or else fall down incapacitated, unable to leave the gaseous cloud without [/FONT][FONT=Arial]help. As the vampire mist feeds, it turns dull red. A creature does not need to breathe the vapors in order for their effects to work.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Tinos] [/FONT] [FONT=Tinos][FONT=Arial]The mist cannot harm an individual protected by an [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]anti-magic shell[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial], [/FONT][FONT=Arial]and a [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]gust of wind[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] repels the vapor without dispersing it. Violent winds (such as those created by an air elemental) completely obliterate this gaseous horror, as do extremely hot fires (such as those created by a [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]fireball[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial] or [/FONT][FONT=Arial][I]flame strike[/I][/FONT][FONT=Arial]). Vampire mist does not harm fire-based creatures. When the duration of the spell expires, the cloud simply thins out into nothingness.[/FONT][/FONT] [url]http://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2014/10/vampire-mist.html[/url] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Undead Control[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=#666666][FONT=Trebuchet MS][I]3rd-level necromancy[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Casting Time:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 1 action[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Range: [/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial]20 yards[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Components: [/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial]V, S, M[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial][B]Duration:[/B][/FONT][FONT=Arial] 1 hour[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]You attempt to control a single undead creature you can see within range. It must make a Wisdom saving throw, and does so with advantage if you or your companions are fighting it. If it fails the saving throw, it is controlled by you until the spell ends or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The controlled creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the spell ends, the creature knows it was controlled by you.[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS] [/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][FONT=Arial]The material component is an evil priest’s unholy symbol or some other properly cursed talisman forcefully presented to the affected monsters.
