Propose a homebrew spell

[Mercenary Pen]

basically, propose a homebrew spell that might be researched by one of the strip's main spellcasters (Vaarsuvius, Xykon or Redcloak)- for general amusement of yourself and others.

Disclaimer: Rich Burlew is not likely to read this, and almost certainly won't use any of these ideas.

Okay, my own suggestion for Redcloak as an epic spell- mass polymorph into harmless bacteria.

[David Argall]

Redcloak can't cast Epic spells. So far he has not even cast 9th level spells.

Now a spell that might have been researched...

V- Obscure sex. Permanment, no save. 5th level. Personal
The viewer is entirely unable to determine the sex of the caster. Depending on circumstances, the viewer might assume a guess was correct, or be aware of the uncertainity, but the caster's true sex is not determinable by any means short of a higher level spell.

Durkon...Create Food and Beer

[holywhippet]

Belkar: Locate prostitutes

[Innis Cabal]

Xykon: Undead Coffee

[Liwen]

Roy : Feather Fall
(Just one multiclass away!

[Laurentio II]

Shorten Sidequest (7 level)
It allows to skip a sidequest, handing to the caster the object/information/anything else that that sidequest was supposed to provide.

[Mercenary Pen]

Redcloak can't cast Epic spells. So far he has not even cast 9th level spells.

Redcloak can't cast epic spells YET. Bear in mind that the strip's likely to keep going for at least another 300 issues (by my guess), during which time it's quite possible for Redcloak to advance a few levels- and it's exactly the sort of uber-spell he'd develop.

But- to provide Redcloak with a spell of lower level- Distract Undead: for those situations where he needs to keep Xykon occupied or have Xykon look the other way.

@Hamsterofthegod- not that sort of homebrew

@Holywhippet- Belkar needs a hit of Owl's Wisdom before he can even cast regular spells. He ain't gonna be researching anything in this life.

[Kato]

Elan: Heat aka sexual rage (enchantment)
yeah... need's any explanation?

[Mercenary Pen]

Elan- Inspire Suicidal tendencies.

[Berserk Monk]

Banjo's Divine Wrath:
1 banjo per caster level rain down from the sky. Each banjo deals 1d8 points of damage. Each banjo deals banjo damage for the purposes of over coming damage reduction. The caster chooses where each banjo falls. They can all go towards one target, or you choose to hit more than one enemy with banjos. If you choose multiple enemies, you must choose which enemies get hit by how many banjos.
material components: a puppet of a god holding a banjo

Vaarsuvius' Ultimate Arcane Power (Evocation)
Wizard 9
The caster must hit with a ranged touch attack. Target is distengrated, scorched, and penetrated in areas that I'd rather not mention. Deals 12d6 damage (fortitude save for 3d6, SR applies), plus 12d6 fire damage (reflex half, SR applies), plus 12d6 piercing damage (no SR). Half of the piercing damage stems from emotional trauma and may be negated with a will save (this is a fear effect). The other half of the damage does not allow a save. If the target's hit points are reduced below 0 by this spell, it becomes a pile of smoldering ash.

Material Component: A doily.

"Hand. Me. The doily."

[Belkar Rocks]

Xykon: Undead CoffeeAs someone who feels undead in the morning before his first cup of coffee, I heartily approve of this spell.

[Blayze]

Roy: Detect Sanity. No need to ask why.

[Stormpax]

Haley: Detect Flying Skank

[Mercenary Pen]

Haley: Detect Flying Skank

Nope, Mass sneak attack flying skank.

[Enlong]

Xykon: Xykon's Restore senses.

Restores one sense of caster's choice to an undead creature of caster's choice.

And we know how he'd use it

Key Start of Darkness spoiler
Restore his own sense of taste

[Ron Miel]

Two spells for Xykon.


1) summon beer.


2) summon mop.

[Firestar27]

Roy: Detect Sanity. No need to ask why.

Nah. It'd be too depressing.

[Liwen]

Celia : Instant Basic Knowlegde coupled with permenancy

So she may not have any more excuses to act like a naive Peachish princess.

[Radar]

For Xykon definetly "Locate Object" (i don't know, if such a spell allready exists in D&D) - no more problems with keys and such.


Elan- Inspire Suicidal tendencies.
Doesn't he have that as a feat allready? The way he botched inspirational speech before the siege would be a hint.

No fancy magic needed here. :smallwink:

[The Demented One]

Vaarsuvius's Unnecessary Overkill
Evocation (Acid, Fire, Force)
Level: Wizard 7
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S
Range: Close (25-ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 30-ft. radius spread
Duration: 4 rounds
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: See text

This unnecessarily powerful spell creates a zone of utter destuction, humiliating and decimating all foes caught within it. The spell's effects progress over four rounds, as below. Vaarsuvius's unecessary overkill cannot be extended, persisted, or otherwise have its duration increased.

1st round: Tentacles of force fill the area, grappling all creatures within it as the black tentacles spell. A creature grappled by tentacles take 4d6 force damage, and a subsequent 1d6 force damage each round. Spell resistance does not apply against the tentacles.

2nd round: The tentacles catch on fire, dealing 1d6 fire damage/2 levels, maxium 10d6, to all creatures in the spell's area, even those that are not grappled. A Reflex save halves the damage, and spell resistance applies.

3rd round: Acid rains down onto the zone, dealing 1d6 acid damage/2 levels, maximum 10d6, to all creatures in the spell's area, even those that are not grappled. A Reflex save halves the damage, but spell resistance does not apply.

4th round: The tentacles dissipate, and a small card, marked with an explosive rune, appears in the center of the spell's area.

Ah, but then you assume that V is a man (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0532.html).

Best One Yet!! FTW

Elan: Detect Maritial Status

It'd be very useful when trying to conjure illusions...

[NENAD]

You'll want to couple that last one with "Detect Sexual Orientation."

[Liwen]

Roy : Advance to next plot point

Fast foward the universe the to next plot device because he's bored and wants the story to go on.

Too complicated and swingy...

[Firestar27]

Too complicated and swingy...

Then use percentile dice.

[Mercenary Pen]

Then use percentile dice.

That doesn't change it being swingy... massive difference between 20d100=20 and 20d100=2000...

Vaarsuvius would sooner go for a spell like:

Mass Polymorph into doilies...

[Mina Kobold]

to :sabine: summon ice cream VIII 8to keep Thog happy). to shaman Vurkle: change color of clothes ( no need to trade for dye). to :thog: summon puppy II ( yay ). to :elan: summon clown pupppet (where did heget them from). to :xykon: remember previus victim (so he doesn´t screws up :roy: ).
