03-13-08, 02:58 AM One of my players came up with a Bleach (the manga) inspired epic spell.
The idea is transforming a sword into millions of fine razor-blades that attack as a swarm.
While a conjure seed based (with the animate seed in it) epic spell's DC is off the charts, using a transform seed based epic spell comes with the problems of the swarm sub-type.
can any of you think of a way to make this spell work?

Hell, pretty much just use the spell and change the flavour a bit -in this case the blade would fly around the caster protecting him from attackers.
Course, it would drown if he is submerged, but I don't see removing that clause being too much of an issue (DC wise).

03-13-08, 04:47 PM Don't use the inherently flawed epic spell system? Sorry to be snarky but seriously, there's nothing inherently epic about a swarm of tiny blades eviscerating your enemies. I suggest just making it a high level spell.

Thx! I'll do that!
