renau1g, please provide the description of "Burning Blood" from the SpC. It seems to have been changed since the version on crystalkeep.

BLOOD
Necromancy
Le vel: Sorcerer/
wizard 4
Components: V, S, M
Ca sting Time: 1
standard action

see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
The taste of copper fills your mouth and
bloody spatters punctuate the last few words
that unlock the spell. You gag slightly as the
blood in your mouth congeals, but disappears
even as you release the spell.
You taint a living creature’s blood with
a hot, corrosive infusion, dealing 1d8
points of acid damage and 1d8 points
of fire damage per round. The subject
to negate the damage, but a successful
save does not prevent damage in future
rounds. Searing pain limits the subject
to a single move action in any round
when it fails its Fortitude save.
Burning blood does not affect creatures
of the construct, elemental, ooze,
plant, or undead types.
Material Component: A drop of blood
and a pinch of saltpeter.

renau1g: OK. BTW, Rajah is 8th level.

 

[renau1g]

WalkingDad - I thought IC hated Rajah, but it looks like it's not too fond of Girgil

 

[Walking Dad]

Girgal seems fine, but IC really hates Ripclaw.

 

[Walking Dad]

Bevin should know, that you can use read magic to identify scrolls.

 

[Leif]

I"m sure that BEVIN does know that. LEIF, however, wasn't thinking clearly. Anyway, Bevin does not have Read Magic memorized for today. Tomorrow, however, is another matter entirely!

Anyway, I think it's just COOL to do it with no spells, no tools, nothing but your eyes and your brain! Still, a spell will be in order for tomorrow, for sure. Thanks.

renau1g, please provide a breakdown of what the values of your black onyx gems are. That's because you need a single gem of the minimum value or more to animate an undead based on its hit dice. In general you will not always have one of exactly the minimum value so you will have to waste a larger one, and it forces you to decide up front if you want many small ones or a few large ones.

 

[renau1g]

Ahhh.... I see, I thought you just put enough to equal the Hit Die. I've updated my sheet:

1 x 250
3 x 225
3 x 200
3 x 175
2 x 150

Note: If I was to cast the spell with a lower than required gem does it become useless? I think the spell would be wasted.

 

[kinem]

If the value was lower than required the spell would be wasted but the gem would remain intact.
