Looks pretty good to me, although since I don't think Unseen Servants can use skills, you might want to say that they can in the spell description. Also, just a suggestion, I think that a cantrip form of unseen servant might be fun. :smallbiggrin:

The Mentalist

I've been working on a cantrip but it's being problematic as it wants to replicate Prestidigitation and Mage Hand. I'm working on it though.

I'll update the skills thing in the morning.

Um, there is the little problem of wizards using the permanent spells to make human labor obsolete, but I suppose that that if you wanted to make a magocracy it would be an interesting little detail. (streets magicaly cleaning themselves, theaters running on unseen performers, etc....)

Shhh, you're onto my cunning plan.

Doppelganger

Albeit, it does make a state containing nothing but mages possible. A wizard who can cast labor pool and has a rod of maximization can churn out a huge number of temporary unseen servants for farming. And then you get into what happens when you just start building up house servants, tied to anything that requires manual labor.... and pretty soon you get a kingdom that completly runs on magic.

The Mentalist
2010-12-14, 10:16 PM
I think the advantages to human labor are the cheap factor (up front) and the immune to dispel factor, if your rival drops a dispel on your labor force, you're screwed. I personally think that both have a place.


In other news, I have a new idea for this...

An epic spell that grants everyone in the world (possibly smaller, or again in stages like my permanent spells) an unseen servant for the normal duration of that spell or for days a level.



Would anyone like to see epic unseen servants?

I'd follow the precedent for other permanent spells and give the permanent ones a costly material component to balance it out. I mean what do you care what level the spell was 24 hours later?

The Mentalist
2010-12-14, 11:59 PM
The level the spell was is more for purposes of keeping hands off it for a while.

I'm not too terribly fond of expensive components but I'll consider it. Would an XP cost work?

Also considering saying they don't reform, just so that they can be be destroyed and you don't end up with a NI amount following you around everywhere.

Here's five words for you: Unseen Bodyguard and Unseen Assassin. :smallbiggrin:

Two words for you. Can do.

I'm getting fun mental images of an army of unseen laborers going on strike, being repressed, and then... Vive la Revolucion! :smallbiggrin:

The Mentalist
2010-12-16, 02:51 PM
and then... Vive la Unseen Revolucion!

Fixed it for you.

Awesome. This is my next adventure hook in that steampunk I'm running.

"You see a crystal tower looming in the distance. As you walk the empty streets of the Translucid City, you see shards of glass and crystal being swept away by some unknown force.

If you want any other types of servants let me know, this is a work in progress.

Oh yeah, totally. It would be awesome if there was a free-willed, permanent Unseen Servant spell. Maybe with some kind of material cost or something, I don't know. Probably accompanied with some kind of 'free-willed unseen servant' race or template. See, an unseen servant city is boring without real unseen citizens instead of mindless drones.

A perfect servant who's master has died could work. This could all be one mage's fantasy land.

I'll make a free willed servant monster though, it won't work as a player race I think.

As long as it's humanoid in shape with about human-level intellect, it's fine.

How about an Unseen Bodyguard?

Working on it, not sure what mechanic I want to use....

Actually I just figured out one or two. Will add to the list in a moment.
