View Full Version : Excrement-themed spells

I am currently building a character themed around excrement, but I haven't had much luck finding spells that fit the theme. Any suggestions?

Also, it would be preferable if said excrement-spells were from first-party 3.5 books, since my DM is strict about that kind of thing.

Stinking Cloud comes to mind...

Contagion?

Befoul, Breath of the Jungle, Igedrazaar's Miasma (or whatever the revised version is called).

With substantial reflavoring: Fire and Brimstone. :smalltongue:

I had a party that said "Holy S**T" so much that their patron Diety gave it to them....

Samurai is widely regarded as the worst non-NPC class in the game.

If you refluff Grease ever so slightly people will avoid stepping in it even more than they do already. Similarly for the exact reason that someone under Bestow Curse is taking penalties or losing actions. Soften Earth and Stone and Transmute Rock to Mud might also work.

If you can steal spells from Pathfinder there are a few mud-themed goblin created spells which would serve. Mudball, Mud Buddy, etc.

Spell Thematics plus Summon Monster line equals increasingly powerful Excrementals* as you level, lol. Just run them as Earth Elementals, with a slightly nasty smell. Or work with the DM (if it's not yourself) to come up with something that works and isn't any more powerful than the normal options but fits within the theme.

*Excremental is from the Kevin Smith movie: Dogma.

Similar to the thread I made a while back about a character build that attacks by farting.

Someone suggested a refluffed Dragon Disciple that breathes from the...other end.

Have you considered psionics? All the ectoplasm plowers makes it seems like an easy refluff.

Also, inb4 this gets locked.

Snotling Shamans in Warhammer Fantasy had Coprolite Storm spell, which was their version of Hail Storm

This topic makes me think about kingdom of loathing. Is their some way we can change a a damage type to sleaze or stench?

Why would it be?

@OP: You could also refluff mud-themed spells like Mudball (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mudball), Mud Buddy (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mud-buddy) and Slowing Mud. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/slowing-mud) Just mentally replace the word "mud" in your head with another one-syllable epithet, and have your GM add a smell(y) cue.

Well, sadly I am limited to 3.5 in this particular endeavor. The thing I am actually trying to build is an otherworldly entity that one of the members of the party in my current group worships.

The creature itself is supposed to look like a duck and have various excrement-related abilities. It is creatively called Poopaduck by its only worshipper, a partial shadow-monster which I also had to homebrew. That player really likes weird things.

The same principle applies even so - refluff, refluff, refluff. Black Tentacles, Earthen Grasp, Viscid Glob - with a little creativity there are spells for this concept all over the place.

Well, I was planning to do a fair bit of refluffing anyway. I just thought it would be good to have some things that were inherently excrement-related.

Well, poop is bile covered at times so acid isn't out of ordinary. So acid arrow can just be smelly bile covered poop.

Angry Ache can be reflavored as filth messing with their muscles.
Boneblast can be Turd Blast.
Heartache can be "fills the subjects bowel wrenching sorrow"
Fire Burst (2e) can be Blue Dart (farting into a fire).
Blossom of Razors can be reflavored as a irritable bowel symdrome.
Fetid Breath is kinda excrement flavored (already causes stinking cloud)
Circle of Nausea creates a fart cloud effect now.
Rain of Blood is now Rain of Turds?

Other than Otyugh-related spells, scat isn't typically an explicit D&D subject matter to my knowledge. :smalltongue:

The spell fireball specifically calls for "A tiny ball of bat guano" as a material component.

I am sure you could substitute other excrement as a material component for said smell....

Bull's Strength also works with a cowpat.

I'd homebrewed stats for a "filth" golem a long time back (stench, disease carrying slam, engulf opponent), but I can't find the stat-block now.
