3rd Level Versions of Some Higher Level Spells [3.5, Spells]

[ideasmith]

Empower Royal Kiss
Abjuration
Level: Brd 2, Clr 3, Luck 3, Pal 2, Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: One creature with at least one level of aristocrat (or similar class)
Duration: Until next time target uses kiss ability, to a maximum of one day/level of caster
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No
Empower royal kiss gives the touched aristocrat (or character belonging to a similar class, such as a PC upgrade of the aristocrat) the ability to break enchantments with a kiss. This kiss effect is a single-use third level spell-like ability which otherwise functions as break enchantment. It even breaks effects called out as requiring break enchantment.
The caster level of the kiss is the same as the caster level of the spell bestowing it. If empower royal kiss is cast on a creature already effected by a previous casting thereof, only one kiss is used up each time the creature uses the kiss ability. Using the kiss ability is a standard action. Kissing otherwise does not use the kiss ability.

Lesser Dispel Magic
Abjuration
Level: Bard 0, Cleric 0, Druid 1, Paladin 1, Ranger 1, Sorcerer/Wizard 0
[b]Components: V, S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature or object
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell operates as dispel magic, except that the maximum caster level on your dispel check is +0 (not +10), and neither area dispel nor counterspell is possible.

Lesser Teleport
Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting time: 8 hours
Range: Personal and touch
Target: You and touched objects or other touched willing creatures
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell instantly transports you to a designated destination, which may be as distant as 100 miles per caster level. Interplanar travel is not possible. You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent (see below) per three caster levels. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you. As with all spells where the range is personal and the target is you, you need not make a saving throw, nor is spell resistance applicable to you.
Objects held or in use (attended) by another creature are only affected of that creature is being teleported.

You must have some clear idea of the location and layout of the destination, which must be a place where you have been very often and where you feel at home. Areas of strong physical or magical energy may make teleportation more hazardous or even impossible.

To see how well the teleportation works, roll d% and consult the table below. Refer to the following information for definitions of the terms on the table.

The chances of failure are much greater than with teleport.

On Target: You appear where you want to be.

Off Target: You appear safely a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. Distance off target is 1d10x1d10% of the distance that was to be traveled. The direction off target is determined randomly.

Similar Area: You wind up in an area that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area.
Generally, you appear in the closest similar place within range. If no such area exists within the spell’s range, the spell simply fails instead.

Mishap: You and anyone else teleporting with you have gotten “scrambled.” You each take 1d10 points of damage, and you reroll on the chart to see where you wind up. For these rerolls, roll 1d20+80. Each time “Mishap” comes up, the characters take more damage and must reroll.

Familiarity	On Target	Off Target	Similar Area	Mishap
Very Familiar	01-76	77-88	89-96	97-100

Material Component: A statue of a fireplace worth at least 5 gp, on which arcane mark was cast at the intended destination.

You instantly transfer yourself from your current location to any other spot within range. You always arrive at exactly the spot desired—whether by simply visualizing the area or by stating direction. After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn. You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent per three caster levels. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
If you arrive in a place that is already occupied by a solid body, you and each creature traveling with you take 1d6 points of damage and are shunted to a random open space on a suitable surface within 10 feet of the intended location.
If there is no free space within 10 feet, you and each creature traveling with you take an additional 2d6 points of damage and are shunted to a free space within 100 feet. If there is no free space within 100 feet, you and each creature travelling with you take an additional 4d6 points of damage and the spell simply fails.
