List of Named Spells

[the Jester]

I was kind of on the fence with that. I still am. But mostly because I'm not that familiar with them. But sure, why not?

In that case, add:

Clutch of Orcus
Graz'zt's long grasp
Rotting curse of Urfestra*
Serpents of Theggeron*
Tongue of Baalzebul
Touch of Juiblex

*I'm not sure who or what Urfestra or Theggeron are; they may be places rather than people.


Did you want the 4e ones too?

Sure. Are there a lot of those? I remember complaints about the loss of named spells in 4e. Not sure if that was just about the old ones losing theirs.

this thread has given me an idea of a campaign world where the only spells available are the named spells, it'll probably never get out of the idea vault but it seems like a neat thing to me.

Spendelard's Chaser (FOR)
Grimwald's Greymantle (FOR)

Greyhawk Adventures HC has more spells from Bigby, Tenser, Otiluke and the rest of Greyhawk's Circle of Eight. (Here's a 3E conversion of the spells)
Pages from the Mages has lots of FR name-spells.

True Vancian casting, huh? It sure adds lots of flavour and i thinkg it's very fitting for D&D. Sepulchrave's Story Hour for example had great Vancian Wizards developing personal spells hoarding their spells and trading them relucatntly. I suppose you could say all arcane D&D spells were once named spells, but most of the older have spread so far that the names have been lost.

Eight, sir; seven, sir;
Six, sir; five, sir;
Four, sir; three, sir;
Two, sir; one!

Tension, apprehension,
And dissension have begun.

Drawmij's Instant Death
Drawmij's Instant Stripping

Otto's Gelatinous Cube Transformation to Edible Gel

Drawmij's Instant Death

NOT a spell named after its creator, but a spell named after what happens to Drawmij should it be cast.

And sadly, these two never had descriptions. As far as I know. The second one might actually have been be useful.

If you don't find the first one useful then you don't play the type of roleplaying sessions that I do.

Well, I guess if you have a thing for stripping 63 year old mages who look like thirty year olds.
