Casting a silenced shout spell... and so much more!

[laeZ1]

Hey playground, you're a fun, creative group of people. What other odd spell/ability/whatevers have you all come up with or heard of over the years?

[Keneth]

Invisible mirror image? Merciful finger of death in Pathfinder is also a favorite.

[KillianHawkeye]

Enlarged reduce person?

Quickened slow?

Empowered ray of enfeeblement?

Still freedom of movement?

Delayed haste?

[Qwertystop]

Invisible Invisibility.

Invisible Apocalypse From The Sky

Invisible Obscuring Mist

Invisible Cloudy Conjuration [any conjuration] (is the cloudy conjuration invisible?)

[Keneth]

Invisible Obscuring Mist

That has a specific use however. It obscures the vision of creatures who can see through invisibility (such those with true seeing) while allowing everyone else to see normally. I've actually used it to great effect several times. :smallbiggrin:

Quickened Haste (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0790.html)

Try Invisible Summon Instrument: Tuba.

[Thrax]

Wait, how does a silenced shout work? You make a lot of noise... without making any noise?

[hamishspence]

"shockwave" basically.

[Yora]

With Silent Spell, you don't have to perform the verbal component of casting the spell, but it doesn't make the effect of the spell silent as well.

But since the spell creates a loud noise, hiding the sound of the casting process is mostly pointless. Another good use of Silent Spell is when you are in the area of a silence spell. In which a shout spell does not work anyway.

It would still be useful if you are deafened and want to avoid the 20% spell failure chance to cast a spell with verbal components.

Try Invisible Summon Instrument: Tuba.

Heh. Sadly, silenced summon instrument wouldn't actually produce a silent tuba.

In 3.5, you can cast darkness to make it brighter in the area.

(Darkness sets the light level to "shadowy illumination", regardless of what it was before. If it's already total darkness, it makes it brighter. Pathfinder fixed this.)

Hmm, what would Invisible darkness do, I wonder?

Make it brighter only if you can see invisibility, which is fairly neat, but then any invisible [light causing spell] also does and does it better.

It's silent but deadly.

[CTrees]

Still freedom of movement?

This one is actually useful if you're paralyzed, grappled, etc. It's funny to say, yeah, but you're just removing a spell component.

[Keneth]

It's silent but deadly.

That made me think of a silent invisible cloudkill. :smallbiggrin:

[Flickerdart]

Stinking Cloud is probably a better candidate, given its material components.

[Magnera]

Invisible Tsunami! (from the spell compendium I believe)

[Invader]

Enlarged reduce person?

Quickened slow?

Empowered ray of enfeeblement?

Still freedom of movement?

Delayed haste?

None of these really change anything mechanically or act in anyway that's particularly funny or unique though, aside from simply sounding counterintuitive.
