[QUOTE="BlackSeed_Vash, post: 7122241, member: 33580"] My apologies. It's been a good while since I've dealt with 3.5 and miss remembered the rulings on the spell Contingency. The spell itself has a range of Personal so you would have to cast it yourself from a scroll. In addition, the spell Sending would not be a valid choice for the attached spell, only spells that affect your person. Last but not least, to attach a 5th level spell to Contingency you need to have a caster level 3 times higher than the attached spell level, in this case, caster level 15. Also, the spell Contingency only allows for one version of itself upon any person. What I was thinking of was the feat Craft Contingency Spell (Complete Arcane pg 77). You will still need someone that has at least 15 caster levels to attach Sending to Contingency, but you will not need the Permanency cast any more. Expect to shell out at least 4,500gp and spending 5 days (8 hrs each day) having the spells bound to you. Any gold spent beyond the 4,500 is just the wizard's profit. Now to answer your question: When Contingency is cast, you need to pick not only the condition that triggers the attached spell, but the parameters that the attached spell operates. In your case, you need to give the person doing the crafting the up to 25 word message that will be send to a particular individual. You may wish to send something along the lines of, "My name is _____ and with my dying breath I must tell you, ____ has betrayed his oaths to ____." That's 20 words, leaving you 5 to play around with. If you go this route, don't forget that: 1) You [b]do not[/b] need to be aware of the trigger for it to happen [ie being attacked by him] 2) As long as you are allowed to lie to other party members, you can tell him the trigger is something different. In this case I'd say it's upon my death, but have it triggered by a phrase/word. [/QUOTE]
