Future Spell add request

[MrDeadman]

I don't remember a single character I've played in the pnp version that was a spell caster that didn't have one of the most valuable spells available.

Comprehend Languages!

It would be a great addition, I think. (and not just because I play a Paladin from Mulhorand that doesn't speak common.)

[sharringtonm]

Perhaps after we get the DMFI languages converted to Sundren GUI's. Remind me again then, wouldn't be a problem.

[Sammael]

You know in NWN1, they had that spell called Energy Shield or something that was a mid-level elemental resist?

I reckon it would be cool if we had that back in NWN2. Just saying.

[Machiavelli]

I'm still waiting for Geas to be... Oh hey, that's right, I'm a DM! No geas spells required

[sharringtonm]

To be honest, I like spells. I like coding them, I like visualizing their impact, I like the oohs and awes of new spells, and I like using them myself in game.

I got a plate load of work in front of me right now, but one day in the future, Saulus will free me of my shackles and allow me to make more. Maybe. Hes a pretty strict slave master.

If theres a spell that you think would be a good addition, the best thing you can do to help is to give me more then a name. Looking for hours for a specific spell thru books and online resources is not my favorite thing to do.
That said if you were to use the following template, not only would you make my life easier, but when the time comes, it will shave my coding timetable in half. Thanks and feel free to suggest them. Please don't argue in this thread about if you think they should be in or not, take it to another thread, if anyone besides Saulus or a DM/DEV says "I don;t think that should be in game" or "that spells is dumb and a waste of time, no one will ever use it", I'll close the thread and stop taking spells suggestions. Again, if you want to debate a spell, take it to the OOC forum and start a thread there.

Also, no spells that deal with scrying/esp/mindreading/wishes/GEAS/contingincies/spell reflection or perm death. Even though some of these are possible, the effort required to put them in is not worth the output.

If you can follow these simple rules, then I'll be happy to consider your spells. And for those that do help me.. well.. Mako helped me on something once... now theres a spell out there that the fluff text mentions his PC for time imemorial.. good things happen to those that positively contribute (but no guarantees.)

Template

Name:
Class/Level:
School: (also any identifiers like good/evil would also go here)

Fluff Text (if it exists else leave blank)

Spell Text: (Verbatim from the source please. Modifying it to your interpretation will invalidate the whole spells)

Source: Please put the book (&page number) or online resource (and link) where you got this spells so it can be validated.

[Machiavelli]

Also, no spells that deal with .../GEAS/...

That's fine. I will just tell the players that I am casting Geas spells upon them, nay, veritably spamming them with geases... and they'll just have to learn to live with that

[Kaeldorn]

Do spell suggestions have to be from existing official/unofficial D&D sources to be considered? Or will you also look into reasonable and fun additions that allow for some degree of creativity on the community's part?

Just wondering.. since I'm sometimes in a creative mood and then I might be able to suggest something here

[sharringtonm]

I'll look at anything, though, i reserve the rights to majorly modify submissions based on server need, balance, and my own personal ego.

Saulus wrath is mighty indeed, and many a forum noob and champion has fallen before his awesome power!

Spell Text: Uh. I guess he back hands them like rick james?

Source: something like that Sean?

[Slaiv]

Pretty funny.

[Kangleton]

Is there a Save?

[Sammael]

Geas

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but what the hell is 'Geas'?

[Saulus]

This is actually a really good idea for a spell to add, but unfortunately languages are fubar at the moment until we redo them. But this will definetly be considered for the future.

[nickbeat]

Disguise Self would be awesome, allowing one to appear as another playable humanoid race with a randomized character model perhaps.

[sharringtonm]

psst nick..can you post the template please? I'm trying to condition folks to do that to save me work. and is it disguise self or alter self your talking about?
