Just for laughs, but I think it could have a very fun place in a game. There’s a lot that can be done with the concept. Besides, I’ve never seen it done before.
Summon Bizarro Clone
Conjuration
Level: Wiz 8
Components: V, S, M, XP
Casting Time: 5 minutes
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: One Bizarro clone
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Originally the result of a high level wizard’s ill fated attempt to make good on a drunken boast, this spell enjoys a cult popularity with the “wizard who did it” magical subculture.
Using dark, largely untapped evil secrets within the “hocky pocky” and a few material components, the caster summons from Bizarro world a highly imperfect, twisted parody of an existing person.
It is an exact copy of any one person or creature with the Bizarro Template (see below). This creature remains in our reality permanently, unless otherwise banished or killed.
Summoning a Bizarro requires the use of an intricate summoning circle laid out using Ro`ugor Black Liver’s High Quality Intoxicant (“You can’t go wrong with Ro`ugor”). However Ro`ugor Black Liver’s High Quality Intoxicant is not cheap, and the circle is very complex. You must have 50gp worth of Ro`ugor Black Liver’s High Quality Intoxicant per target HD and must succeed a DC 25 Spellcraft check where dex is used as the modifier in place of intelligence to determine the accuracy of the spill(not a typo).
Material Component
Rotten egg, corkscrew, small piece hair or flesh of target to be cloned, a crude drawing of a frowny face with text that reads “My name is <target name> and I’m a <derogatory term>!” and 50gp worth of Ro`ugor Black Liver’s High Quality Intoxicant per target HD.
XP Cost
100 XP per HD of the Bizarro to be created (minimum 1,000 XP).
Bizarro Template
Bizarro world is a chaotic funhouse mirror universe that mocks our own in every respect. Each inhabitant is a confused parody of a creature exiting on our plane. There are no unique Bizarros, as they are each modeled after someone or thing on our plane.
A Bizarro is identical to the original it mimics except it receives a +2 to it’s most significant modifier and it’s mental modifiers, unless it receives the +2, are all inverted and exaggerated by 4. In essence, a Bizarro is slightly more effective at whatever its normal counterpart does best, but is behaviorally and aesthetically opposite.
As a Bizarro is willingly, knowingly and actively working to be as opposite to the original as possible, its alignment is opposite the original’s.
A Bizarro imitates the original’s mode of dress with minor differences to stress its opposite nature, for example color schemes are altered and any insignia are turned backward or upside down.
Bizarros with negative charisma are freakish in appearance. They have only enough discoloration of the skin, twisted limbs, or other mild deformities to distinguish themselves from the original without making them unrecognizable.
Positive charisma Bizarros are simply identical to their counterparts as one would imagine the original if they were highly attractive.
It's creature type is Aberration
Ex: Ranger Bob is Chaotic Good and has Str +1 Dex+2 Con+1 int-1 Wis+2 Cha+0
Bizarro Ranger Bob is Lawful Evil and has Str +1 Dex+4 Con+1 int+5 Wis-6 Cha-4
Linguistics
Inhabitants of the Bizarro world with negative intelligence modifiers use an odd but predictable form of Common. The most notable characteristics are:
The lack of nominative case when using pronouns; Bizarros replace pronouns that should be nominative with their analogues in the accusative case. A Bizarro might introduce himself by saying "Me am Bizarro" instead of "I am Bizarro," for example.
The lack of proper verb conjugation; a Bizarro only uses the first person conjugation for any verb. For example, the verb to be is always conjugated as "am", leading to sentences like "This am great".
And a slightly inconsistent habit of replacing verbs, adjectives, and some nouns with they’re opposite or negating them. This often leads to confusing statements filled with double, or even triple negatives. Ex: “Me am not Going to run cat a square the stranger hood! Then me no am going to eat him cuz me hate him very much.” Means (we can only presume) “I’m going to walk the dog around the neighborhood. Then I’m going to feed her because I lover her so very much!”
Bizarros with above average intelligence instead behave as limp-wristed caricatures of English nobility. This includes a fixation on tea, the orchestration of a pleasant tea time, and a fondness for monocles and eveningwear.
