New Spell for Mage Combat

[DementiaSummoner1]

Well while looking through the PHB i saw the whole telekinesis stuff and thought y not give a mage a sword and have him use telekinesis to hurl the sword at the enemies. I was hoping for input on some good rules on how to use this telekinesis weapon chucking. Your input is greatly appreciated

Well, you could use TK to fling a weapon, but to fight with it as in a third limb is another story...

Would the mage only use the TK to throw the sword, or to actually fight with it? Throwing would be inaccurate and possibly dangerous to friends around, and at best I would rate TK as not giving the item enough momentum to strike someone/something too hard. I would treat the attack as a normal ranged attack but with a penalty of say... -6.

As for sparring with it? Nah, takes too much effort to control the TK without trying to make quick jerky movements to parry or strike.

 

[DementiaSummoner1]

Huh nah

-6 is to much i mean its like throwing a rock at some one but in a controlled way i would say if your using the level 5 spell to do so only have a -2 penalty for it. look at it this way its using your power to throw something but this something happens to be a sword so it should count as a long rage attack. if your mage is good enough at it you should have no problem huling stuff at people even if that thing is a weapon

i myself think the penalty should be -1 per 10 feet that sounds good to me but keep challenging this cause i want it to be a good spell

or maybe make it a higher level spell so it is harder to use

Zig, Zig, Zig what possessed you to join ENworld. But any way's to the point, that was a good idea: the penalty should be -1 per 10 feet. It makes pretty good sense in a logical way.

 

[DementiaSummoner1]

yeah

i like it too but i need some more feed back cause it still is a little over powered a little

 

[DementiaSummoner1]

welll

I was thinking about this spell and i was thinking it could be a level 4 or 5 spell and the first 10 feet are penalty free but for evry 10 feet after that be -1 cause i was thinking and i came to the conclusion that if have a sword with a damage of d20 + 5 at long rage thats kinda broken so if you have ne more things to say please contribute cause i really like taking advantage of telekines. its a useful ability(spell) might as well use it to its full extent

 

[MarauderX]

I like the -1 per 10 feet. The reason I was thinking -6 was what if the wrong end of the sword is the place where it hits? No slashing, not much damage. Eh, needs more thought. Lemme think a while.

 

[DementiaSummoner1]

Yeah

The -10 is good but it still needs more thought

 

[bebo]

one question if it could be done with a mage could a psion be possable of throwing a sword or staff
