[QUOTE="The Spectrum Rider, post: 1156341, member: 10777"] What level would you asign to the following spells? And what do you think of them? RAINBOW AURA Illusion (Pattern) [Mind-affecting] Level: 2? Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Area of Effect: 30 ft. radius Duration: 1 minute/level Saving Throw: No (see text) Spell Reisitance: No You glow with an aura of shifting, sparkling colors. Any creature within 30 ft. who looks at your aura must make a Will save against the spell's save DC or be dazed for 1 round. When an affected creature recovers from the daze, if it is still exposed to the rainbow aura, it must make another Will save or be dazed for another round. This continues until the creature makes its save or is no longer exposed (due to distance, blindness, etc.). The rainbow aura is treated as a gaze attack (despite the fact that it radiates from the caster's entire form, and not just from the eyes). However, unlike more standard gaze attacks, it is completely passive; it cannot be actively directed against a particular opponent. Characters can avert their eyes or shut their eyes to reduce the chance of being affected. (See DMG, pg. 77.) Dazed characters cannot attempt to avert or shut their eyes. Any creature that makes its save against the rainbow aura cannot be further affected by that particular aura, although they are subject to subsequent casting of the spell. When using this spell, you suffer a -30 circumstance penalty to any Hide checks. Blind, sightless, or mindless creatures are not affected by the rainbow aura. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPROVED RAINBOW AURA Level: 4? As rainbow aura, except as noted above and: creatures exposed to the aura must make a saving throw every round they are exposed or be dazed for one round, regardless of whether they have already made their saving thorw against this casting of the spell. (In other words, creatures that make their saves can be re-affected the next round.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RAINBOW MISSILE Evocation Level: 2? Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: 1 creature Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: yes A ball of shifting, sparkiling colors darts forth from your fingertip and strikes any one target within range who does not have total cover or total concealment. The target must make a Will save vs. the spell's save DC or be dazed for 1d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting pattern effect. Blind, unseeing, and mindless creatures are not affected ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RAINBOW WEAPON Transmutation Level: 4? Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Target: 1 melee weapon Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object; see text) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object) This spell causes a single melee weapon to glow with rainbow colors. Whenever the weapon does damage to an opponent, it creates a flash of sparkling light; the opponent must make a Will save vs. the spell's save DC or be dazed for 1 round. This is a mind-affecting pattern effect. Blind, unseeing, or mindless creatures are not affected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance for your help. You can see what's been on my mind.... The Spectrum Rider [/QUOTE]
