Hat Trick (0 level disguise spell)
I made this in a few seconds on the spot for a 0 level spell, mostly intended for Pathfinder but I see little difference between it and 3.5.
How is it? Anyone think of a better name perhaps?
Hat Trick
School transmutation (polymorph);
Level bard 0, sorcerer/wizard 0, Witch 0
Casting Time Full action
Components V, S
Range personal
Target you
Duration 1 min./level (D)
You quickly alter your appearance using your disguise skill, alterations can be height up to six inches, add or subtract fat or muscle, change coloration, and heavily alter the appearance of light armor or clothing you are wearing. This is a cosmetic change, and has no effect on your stats and can't effect magic items or heavier armors then simple leather. The spell is somewhat crude, and merely directed instead of commanded, it applies only a +2 to your disguise check instead of a polymorph's normal +10 when making yourself look like someone specific.
Special: Cannot be used while observed.Last edited by Cipher Stars; 2012-05-27 at 04:19 PM.

Re: Hat Trick (0 level disguise spell)
This is actually a very useful spell. Probably too powerful for a cantrip. A normal disguise attempt takes at minimum 10 minutes (at least in 3.5 not sure about pathfinder). You're giving this as a standard action, not even a whole round. I think I'd change it to Illusion (glamer) and ditch the disguise bonus. Alternatively, it could be a 1st level spell with the bonus.

On Polymorph subschool.
Emphasis on this piece of text:
(...) these spells make you appear to be the creature, granting you a +10 bonus on Disguise skill checks (...)Metal Perfection - a template for creatures born on Mirrodin.
True Ferocity - a simple fix for Orcs and Half-Orcs.
Monastic Magus - a spiritual successor to the Unarmed Swordsage.
Pathfinder-ish Synthesist - a simple fix making Synthesist Summoners follow polymorph rules.
Sword & Sorcery for Sneaky Scoundrels - rogue archetypes/fixes that aim to turn the rogue into a warrior/caster.

Re: Hat Trick (0 level disguise spell)
Hate to point this out, but the Spell Compendium already has a pretty similar spell called minor disguise.
Minor Disguise
Transmutation
Level: Bard 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour
Your fingertips glow blue, and you add a few details to enhance your disguise.
You use magic to make minor, cosmetic changes in your appearance. The spell does not change the actual structure of either your features or body. It can add color to hair, paint wrinkles upon your face, give you a scar, or darken your teeth. This spell gives you a +2 competence bonus on the next Disguise check you make during its duration.[/quote]
