Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scion" data-source="post: 1343129" data-attributes="member: 5777">Actually jg did a pretty good job on this one, it is strong but not the end all and be all.two of the bonuses will almost never matter, other spells and items will overlap with it. Cloak of resistance anyone? Ring of deflection? a plethora of spells and effects all grant the same named bonus. So those parts of the spell are fairly minimal, almost an afterthought much like Foresight and its little +2 insight.1min/level (as the spell) doesnt shut down creatures with mind controlling abilities, they just take you over and your buddies, or just whoever isnt protected. If everyone has it then that was a big use of party resources and they deserve to be protected... all your big bad guy has to do is just wait around for a few minutes and then he can start dominating again. In the case of the ring this just means it is worth more than 2k, thats all. In my eyes at least anything that further prohibits save or die type effects is a Good Thing (tm).The last part about summoned evil monsters is a good one, but dont these creatures get to try some SR or am I thinking incorrectly? Plus the creature can still attack other party memebers (so the threat is not removed, simply placed elsewhere) or the summoner could simply summon a neutral, good, or whatever version.Of course the creatures he summoned might have other attacks than natural.. maybe a weapon, perhaps spells, whatever.. It limites one part of an ability, not very earth shattering. Plus as it is a fairly low level spell anyone who is worried about it can simply summon up the appropriate creature of the opposite alignment or neutral types.Still, the item is worth a lot more than 2k, I dont know if 40k is too high or not though, but if it was set at 40k then I would hope no one would have problems with its abilities really. (finally a reason for targetted dispel on an item..lol.. you are dominated, dispel ring, 'take off your ring and throw it away'..mmm.. fun times with the big bad)</blockquote>
