I like them, but why does the preist archtype get a morale bonus instead of an enhancment bonus?

Stacking purposes.

I originally had them all as morale bonuses, but changed it to enhancement to tone it down. Just forgot to change that on the Priest.

These are some truly interesting, well-rounded spells here. However, I have a few suggestions. Just for clarification, these are just suggestions. I found no technical flaws, just things that gnaw at my mind.

1) Cloak Weapon sounds like it could have a Sense Motive check to negate the effects, thus allowing the victim a means of defense. Kind of like a feint. Or maybe that could be like a Lesser Cloak Weapon. Also, maybe you should specify whether the attack must be made in the same round of the casting. Lastly, maybe the weapon should also be listed in the Focus Component entry.

2) I think that Blight Womb should mention whether or not it has an effect on non-mammals that use eggs as a means of gestation.

3) To avoid cheese, maybe you should specify that the touch attacks are melee in the latter few.

Otherwise? Blight Womb seems too disturbing to not be evil. Or maybe its just how I'm shuddering at it being 1st level for clerics.

A Sense Motive check to beat invisibility just seems weird to me.

That's standard for spells with a duration of 1 attack.


2) I think that Blight Womb should mention whether or not it has an effect on non-mammals that use eggs as a means of gestation.
Only viviparous creatures--i.e., those that do get properly pregnant--are effected. If you want to kill a creature in an egg, I have a simpler solution: omelets.


3) To avoid cheese, maybe you should specify that the touch attacks are melee in the latter few.
When not specified, a touch attack is always assumed to be of the melee variety.


Otherwise? Blight Womb seems too disturbing to not be evil. Or maybe its just how I'm shuddering at it being 1st level for clerics.
It's mean, but death effects=/=evil.

My only answer to most of those is: Gee, I guess you're right. However, my logic for my first suggestion was that they do see you motioning towards them as though you had a weapon in your hand. The DC should be pretty high, though, so I guess it would be just a fruitless effort.
