(I am new to the forum: hello to everyone! :smallbiggrin:. OOTS is fantastic!)
There is probably a topic on this matter, but I couldn't find it. If that is the case, I suggest it could be linked here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124685) if the subject happens to be interesting for many people.
I think it would be nice to have a topic to discuss home-made spells and feats, in order to share our ideas and to find a way to balance them. :smallbiggrin:
Ok, I will start :smallbiggrin:. This is a spell I invented for an important NPC in a campaign I am thinking of (some of the words used in the spell description may be wrong (is that called "duration"? I mean how long that lasts), and that may also be true for some of the other words in this post. I am Italian and so are my manuals, feel free to correct me if it is necessary):
Ray of scrying:
Divination (Scrying)
Cleric 4, Sorcerer/Wizard 4
Range: Medium
Effect: one ray (requires a ranged touch attack)
Components: V, S, (Divine Focus for clerics)
Casting time: standard action
Saving throw: will negates; see below
Duration: permanent
Spell resistance: yes
if someone is hit by the Ray of scrying and his saving throw fails, he will be permanently under the scrying attention of the caster. Whenever he wants, the caster will be able to decide to scry on the victim (requires concentration), being able to see and listen what happens nearby the target. Every time the caster tries to scry on the target, the target receives a Will save; if it succeds, the caster can't scry on him for the next 24 hours (but the target remains unaware of what happened).
If someone has been affected by a Ray of scrying and is in the Individuation of Magic line of sight of another person, he will be seen in a weak area of Divination magic. The effect of the spell can be removed by Dispel Magic or Greater Dispel Magic. If someone under a Nondetection spell is hit by a Ray of scrying, the Ray has no effect. If someone under a Ray of scrying receives a Nondetection spell (or a similar effect) he can't be scryed for as long as that spell lasts.
Maybe this should be a 5th level spell for Clerics, since wizards specialized in Divination should be better then them at scrying other people.
