My new spell Addle

[Michael Morris]

::sighs:: It's times like these that I wonder if the spells I post are being read at all. Then again, with over 300 spells now a name crossover is bound to happen sooner or later.

You choose a color. The targetted creature must choose a spell of that color and lose the preparation of the spell. You know which spell they chose. If they have no spell of the chosen color the spell fails.

Actually, since you mention the ranged tough attack and Will save together, I would put it at 4th level. It can really hinder a wizard greatly when used, so in that way I think it can cripple that one core class greatly compared to the others, which is why I would put it up another level. Having it up a level helps out the save DC vs. the spell, so in a way it helps. I would imagine there could be higher level versions of the spell w/o the touch attack and perhaps -2 to the save for each level above 4th.

I really like the spell though, and will hope to try it out sometime.

Ahem...

Feeblemind

Any spell that strips a caster of some or all of his spell ability must be weighed against feeblemind, which in turn is weighed against save or die spells showing up at 5th level as well. Las' version of Addle is alright (does essentially the same thing as my duress does at 3rd level).
