Ramaloke 04-06-08, 11:53 AM	So Im playing in a Conjurer 5/Malconvoker 9/Fiendbinder 1 in a campaign that will eventually move on into epic. My character, Niccodemus, will be binding a succubus with the fiend of possession class next level (DM has let me apply class levels to my bound fiends as long as they are my Character's HD -4). Im going to have the succubus possess my character and act as sort of a confidant and an advisor (this is truely only for RP purposes, I really like the idea and it should help my character develop quite well). I was talking with my DM and we came up with a scenario in which the Succubus will learn my character's truename and begin to exert control over him. Niccodemus doesn't like that but the fiend has used his truename to prevent him from commanding her to bugger off so to speak. The only way Niccodemus can figure out how to overcome this creature is to combine himself with her, with him as the dominating personality. How does this spell look for getting that done. *notes* The instantaneous and the natural bonuses to stats are add hoc and the DM has already allowed me to sacrifice his two points of his constitution to get that done (representing his soul being torn to shreds and being forcibly combined with that of the succubus). This is mainly for RP reasons like I said before, so he is basically granted a lightweight version of the half-fiend template (Wings, +4 int, +2 Cha, Outsider type for when its beneficial, no alignment shift). Truename Recombination (Ritual) Transmutation Spellcraft: 24 Components: V, S, Truespeak, Casting Time: 10 Minutes Range: Personal Target: One creature and the Possessing Fiend Inside Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Fortitude Spell Resistance: Yes To Develop: 216,000 Gold; 4 Days; 8,640 XP, Seeds: Transform (2x) (DC 21 Each), Fortify (2x) (DC 17 Each) Factors: Transform into Outsider subtype (DC +5), Grant Wings (50 ft. Fly Speed) (DC +6), +4 Int total (DC +6), +2 Cha total (DC +2), Change stat Bonuses to Natural bonus (DC +50), Change Duration to Instantaneous (DC+50) (DC 195 Before Mitigation) Mitigating Factors: Increase Casting time to 10 Minutes (DC -18), Change from target, touch, or area to Personal (DC -2), Requires to properly use truespeak to say each of the target's truenames (DC -20), Backlash 10d6 (DC -10), Permanently Loose 2 Constitution (DC -100), Additional Ritual Participant contributing an Epic Spell Slot (DC -19) The caster, binding himself within concentric circles of magic against evil, begins the incantation slowly and quietly. A figure begins to coalesce beside him, a representation of the fiend within him. Tenuous chords of soul attach the figures within the circle. The ritual participant on the outside of the circle begins to chant in a harmonious tone with that of the lead caster, working her will to suppress the fiends will for the ritual leader in the center of the circle. The ritual leader begins to chant both his truename and the fiends, slowly rolling the two together. The caster, all his strength going into the spell, then takes two permanent points of constitution loss as his soul and his very being is being combined with that of the fiend within him. This can never be recovered through any means such as wish. At the completion of the ritual the ritual leader takes 10d6 points of backlash damage, and the fiend's screams echo and dissipate. The caster is now the only one within the circle. He is now a combination of both himself and the creature within him. His fiendish wings are strong and powerful and one can tell at a mere glance his is not from this world any longer. The caster is now an outsider, has bat like wings that allow him to fly at a speed 50 ft. (good), and has received a natural bonus of +4 Intellect and +2 Charisma. He is now considered a demon (evil, outsider) or a hummanoid, whichever benefits him greater for any situation. The casters alignment need not change, though he will, and should, exhibit some crueler characteristics.
