A player in my epic campaign is a druid who wants to give animals equal footing to the races who would destroy the forest. To this end, he wants to create a new spell, an enhanced awakening. What do you guys think of this?
New Spell:
Aslan's Awaken
Level: Druid _ (??)
Casting time: 24 hours
Components: V, S, DF, XP
Range: Touch
Target: Animal or Plant touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving throw: Will 1/2 (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Like Awaken, except as follows:
Caster first must transform into a creature of the same type as the one it is attempting to awaken. He/she then initiates contact with the animal by speaking to it in its own language. If the ability the caster is using to maintain the form exceeds its duration before the spell is up, the caster must make a will save DC 15 + (24 - number of hours passed), and continue to make such will saves each successive hour.
At the end of the 24 hours, caster must succeed a will save (DC 10 + creature's HD) OR expend 600 XP. If the caster succeeds in the will save, they must still spend 300 XP.
A creature awakened with this spell will pass on conciousness as a trait to the next generation when breeding with another awake creature of its own kind. If it breeds with an unawakened creature, it has a 25% chance of producing awakened offspring, which will be able to pass on their conciousness in the same manner.
