Greater Mage Armor

3.5E

3.5E But Better?

Pathfinder

Sor/Wiz 3+6 Armor AC Bonus

Just an upgraded Mage Armor with clear usefuleness

Pathfinder version goes and adds a +2 every 5 levels beyond the 5th up to a maximum of +10 at 15th level. Not sure we want to do that to have it improve, maybe? (The "But better" version of 3.5E scales even better than this!)

Arelith makes it a level 6 spell but does +2 in each of the 4 AC types the original Mage Armor does.

Epic Mage Armor for reference will be a flat +20 bonus compared to this.

VFX: A better version of the current VFX for Mage Armor, perhaps more involved

Mass Cure Light Wounds

Mass Cure Moderate Wounds

Mass Cure Serious Wounds

Mass Cure Critical Wounds

(3.5E PHB)

Brd 5, Clr 5, Drd 6

Brd 6, Clr 6, Drd 7 

Clr 7, Drd 8 

Clr 8, Drd 9

Cure spells but in an AOE (15ft radius, 30ft across)

Mass Cure Light Wounds was previous Healing Circle. We simply rename it.

Mass Heal is part of this line and treated the same (size etc.)

Icon

We reuse VFX from the normal cure/heal spells. The AOE VFX is generic. Might be worth a tweak (better AOE VFX and no-sound individual heal VFX)

Assay Resistance

3.5E Complete Arcane

NWN2

Cleric 4, Sorcerer/Wizard 4

+10 bonus to overcome a specific creatures SR.

Needs a custom ResistSpell check for this.

Icon

VFX might be good but use the generic one for now.

Power Word, Blind3.0E SRDSor/Wiz 8, War 8Blindness for creatures in an area up to 200HP.

This goes along well with Stun and Kill power word spells.

The blind is permanent against low hit point creatures but the AI should be able to cope, and when the PC rests it gets removed.

Seems to be indiscriminate as Power Word, Kill is.

For now leaving them as Divination. Until perhaps more Divination spells are in play.

Icon

VFX from Spellmans.

New sound might be good. For now using Blindness/Deafness one.

Read Magic

3.0E

Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 0 Reads scrolls. Nice thematic cantrip.

Mainly because utility spells are limited in the game, and we'll be changing how Identify works so helps scroll users.

Extended like ToEE to be both scrolls and potions. Will need to make these unidentified more though in the blueprints to be worthwhile.

Made into Divination as per 3.5E, and since Divination really needs some love.

Icon

Could use a nice VFX. We play the read animation maybe replace that.
