This isn't mine, it is dspeyer's, but I am trying to collect some data for Age of Warriors and... well, let us just say that I don't think dspeyer knew his/her formatting when (s)he originally wrote this (but improved greatly by the time (s)he did the archery stuff).
Going to try to work on this here so I can avoid threadomancy. So far I haven't done anything other than catagorizing about half of the stuff in the short list.
PEACH welcome, but remember I am not the author.

Like unbalance, but you may select an adjacent square for your partner to fall into. Anyone in this square must make a similar reflex save with a DC 2 less. If they fail, you select the squares they fall into, and so on. The chain continues (with the dc decreasing each time) until a reflex save succeeds or the chosen square is empty.
Going to try to work on this here so I can avoid threadomancy. So far I haven't done anything other than catagorizing about half of the stuff in the short list.
