New Spells: Vortex, Waterspout(altered slightly)

Merlion

First Post
A couple little elemental attack spells. Elm is for my Elementalist class

Vortex
Evocation [Air]
Level: Dru 2, Elm 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (25 ft+ 5 ft/2 levels)
Effect: Column of wind 1 ft in diameter
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell causes a swirling vortex of air to project from the casters hand towards a single target. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack to hit. The impact of the blast deals 1d6 damage per two caster levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd level, 3d6 at 5th level etc), and subjects the target to a bull rush. The vortex is treated as having a strength of 18+caster level (max 25) and being Large size for this purpose.
This spell does not function in an airless environment




Waterspout
Conjuration (Creation) [Water]
Level: Dru 2, Elm 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Range: Close (25 ft, +5 ft/two levels)
Effect: Stream of water 1 ft in diameter)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: See Text
Spell Resistance: No


This spell causes a stream of pressurized water to project from the casters hand towards a single target. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack to hit. The impact of the blast deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage per two caster levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd level, 3d6 at 5th level etc). Additionally, for the round of impact, and the round after, the target must make a Reflex save or take a -2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round, due to water splashing into the targets eyes, nose, and mouth. Aquatic creatures are not affected by this aspect of the spell.

I'm really liking Waterspout. A quick page-through of the PHB & such reveals that besides fire, cold & electric attack *bolts* (oh yeah, Magic Missile as well), there isn't much else. Of course acid comes into play at higher levels, but there really aren't many water attack spells.


Of coure, the rarity of offensive water-spells merely prompts the DM to create creatures that can ONLY be defeated via water! LoL

Good job on the spell. I hope my players aren't reading this.

;~D
