Thrushfeather 05-01-07, 11:39 AM	Oh, the lowly lesser limited, Limited Wish, is there anything you can't do? Answer: Yes; many, many things in fact. Though that doesn't concern us right now. What I want to find out is what can you do with Prestidigitation. So, if you've ever come up with a cleaver use of the mage's utility knife, and you think it is with in the realm of power for Prestidigitation Post, em and let's get to pulling rabbits out of our hats. Let's get started. 1. Light a small fire. 2. Make a card appear at the top of a deck of cards. 3. Tie and "Over-hand" knot in a small rope. 4. Make a candle flame explode like a fire cracker. 5. Clean a sword. 6. Make Lemonade. 7. Make an item glow and appear magical to the untrained eye.(no illumination) 8. Cool a drink. 9. Roll a set of dice (in game) in your favor. 10. ...? Best of Luck -TF
Fallenangel359 05-01-07, 12:16 PM	10 color a celestials wings black, while in hell, so I could get along with hellians better. (happened 2 days ago). Kinda made sense as the celestial was a shadowdancer :P
Ikyotojin 05-01-07, 12:22 PM	11 - that itch in the middle of my back. No really! It's SO annoying. 12 - put that itch on the nose of some guy on watch... the one wearing the full helm. When he takes it off to scratch it, WHAM! 13 - Distractions while pick pocketing or trying to sneak by. Anyone remember the first Star Wars movie where old Ben sneaks past the Stormtroopers?
TacoClone 05-01-07, 12:26 PM	14 - Clean the soot off the chimney walls to reveal an oddly placed incantation to open that door in the front of the dungeon to finally let you out so you don't starve to death... (We were so happy when our sorcerer decided to see what would happen)
Yusari 05-01-07, 08:55 PM	15. Soiled the seat of the pants of a haughty noble who was talking down to the party in front of all his bride-to-be (who we'd just rescued), and her father. The marriage didn't go through. 16. Used to remove the bloodstains from my wizard's robes before the paladin saw them and asked where they were from. (As the rogue later said in his defense at the trial; It wasn't so much that he was murdering innocents, as that he didn't take the time to determine what they might have been guilty of. Everyone is guilty of something or other.) 16. Used to flavor the king's dish and make him think it was poisoned, touching off his paranoia and ensuring the execution of everyone at a certain banquet. 17. Used to heat stones (and thereby his sleeping roll) one cold night, to keep himself warm. This led to the female ranger asking to share his sleeping roll. 18. Used to make people believe his cooking was palatable when it was his turn to make dinner for the party (as our DM said; Be glad they've never stated out Mad Cow for D&D). 19. Used to create "an item of sin" (think freud) in the bag of the female cleric when the paladin was looking around for healing potions, touching off a great series of accusations about the cleric's Sinfulness (And giving rise to the Paladin's edict, that only he could touch any naked men we came across, because they would be too much temptation for the poor cleric.)
Izzak 05-01-07, 09:25 PM	20. Make a hat flop onto the ground for the 30th time. "These arn't the droids your looking for" Ben Kenobi

Ikyotojin 05-02-07, 11:51 AM	21) Undo straps of 1) Enemy's Armor, 2) Dwarf Strippers Top. 2 being obviously the most useful. For "useful" read "disturbing". ;)

Cocolord 05-03-07, 09:32 PM	Change the collor of a copper piece to gold or platinum. So that the dwarf accepts to do the thing of her own free will. (or buy what would almost make any of the above effects possible...) Money does a lot
MrSpaceBear 05-04-07, 02:01 AM	A lot of people forget that Prest can organize everything with in the radius of the spell not weighing more than a few lbs. So all those coins scattered across the floor just fly right into your hands. Or the caltrops. Or the arrows.... etc.
Kassil 05-04-07, 01:33 PM	24) Make those bland trail rations taste better, and maybe flavor that waterskin. 25) Heat or chill your food and/or drink. 26) Earn some spare coppers with a magic show in the streets. 27) Conjure a cool, misty breeze on a hot summer day. 28) Heat your boots, clothes, and bedroll. 29) For a laugh, make the dwarf sound like he sucked helium. 30) Then make the elf sound like a husky orc. 31) Ensure that a coin toss lands the way you want - even if that happens to be 'on edge'. 32) Been adventuring all day? A simple use of this can clean your clothes, remove bloodstains, and polish everything that needs it.
mad_warlock 05-09-07, 09:21 AM	Wizards: Never have to bathe again (keeps from being attacked by water elementals while naked. Had that happen before when I was bathing in a nymph's spring.) Barbarians: Buy a cheap magic item of at-will prestidigitation. Occasional rub yourself down with it to get rid of those unwanted odors. Rogues: Can create a crude object..like a small metal rod useable as a makeshift tool. Warlock: Make your eyes glow red, and your hands spout flame. Great for intimidation purposes before you start hurling Eldritch Blasts. Fighter: Same as Barbarian. Monk: use the spell to magically fold a t-shirt into a ninja mask in a few quick seconds. Insta-Ninja!!! Ninjas: As a monk, but use it to keep your ninja masks nice and pressed, and free of unsightly blood and gore stains. Sorceror: use it to create small illusions of little flying pixies that your bard can hit with his whip to relieve the anger of sucking so bad. Bard: Use it to repair the strings of your guitar when forced to use it as a bludgeoning weapon in combat. (has happened. Gene Simmons would be proud.) Paladin: Use it to clean the muck from your armor. That way the enemies have an easier time seeing your slow ass, and thus close the gap for you. Cleric: Use it to write "My god can beat up your God" on the back of the Paladin's armor while he sleeps. more coming soon. :)
Cloister the Stupid 06-04-07, 06:07 PM	33. Distract the Drow warrior by pulling a ceramic rabbit out of his rear. 34.

Everdreaming 06-05-07, 12:32 AM	Rogues: Can create a crude object..like a small metal rod useable as a makeshift tool. Dont want to burst your bubble, but that does not work. You cannot use any of the objects created by pres to do anything meaningful. But the other ones work quite well.

Collect dust, make it black, and animate it as a shadow elemental, or just as a spooky/ creepy figure. Don’t forget the ghost sound for screeching effects. And there you have it, a creature who can’t be killed. Perfect to distract people (won’t disturb spell casters) 64. Start selling color flavored stones and call them jawbreakers. 65. Make stone appear to be gold. 66. Turn paper into a flower. 67. Use it to mix ingredients for explosive substances 68. Light a explosive/flammable substance. (set arrows on fire) 69.

The_Unseen_Illusion 07-19-07, 03:38 AM	My DM underpowers this spell, he didn't even let me play Darth Vaders theme song when my wizard had nothing else to do. Really ticked me off when he said I couldn't clean myself with it after I had gotten out of a swamp

1 ton ghost 08-11-07, 01:49 PM	Clean -this is the most useful one, especially in the forensic sense. it does not go well to leave a sample of your blood about to an enemy or authorities that can Scry. also, if you need to dispatch a guard quickly and leave no evidence after dragging cadavre away very quickly -consider how ripe you are after a forced march, trekking in avg. dungeon/sewer, etc. these would get you penalites on most dimplomacies, charisma tests, etc. Soil -someone is giving you static at the gala/ball/party, soil their gaments w/out making a scene. most nobles will exit stage left to tidy up giving you the few minutes you need Fire Finger -plain vanilla tindertwig from finger...consider an alchemy lab w/ many petrochemicals or smokepowder lying about. remember, even in The 5th Element, a smoker saves the planet w/ a single match

Tedronai 09-01-07, 11:32 PM	157. Cast THE MOST DAMAGING SPELL, short of epic or uber-brokenness, IN THE GAME. (deal 1 fire damage/round for 1 hour via Firefinger - that's 600 damage for a catrip, 1200 for a 1st level Extended version, 14400 for a 6th level Persistent version, and 28800 for a 7th level Extended Persistent version). Not much use in combat, but the best torture device you'll find, and the only one you're likely to ever need. I suggest starting with the soles of their feet. I would not suggest using this for the full hour on any given subject. They likely won't survive.

Watsyurname529 09-20-07, 10:39 PM	163.) fix all the spelling/grammar errors in this thread :D That would be the greatest spell ever, especially if you did it to the entire system of WoTC boards. 171.

Create little sounds behind the party... the scuffing of a footstep, a twig breaking, an unintelligible whisper... Drive the paranoiac of the party crazy! 177. Clean that disgusting inn outhouse before you use it. 178. Set up a Three Card Monte scam. 179. Color and soil yourself to make it look like you were just in a huge fight. Yell to the nearest city guardsman that [evil race of your choice]s are attacking. Pilfer at leisure while they're occupied. 180. Create a paper flower to charm the beautiful maiden(s). 181. Create an "accidental" wardrobe malfunction and hope your target isn't gay--you can bet that man isn't going to be looking anywhere else while your party member(s) do whatever they want! 182. Fighting a vampire? Curtained windows? Grab those curtains and tear 'em down--instant sunlight! (Granted, not all vampires are this stupid.) 183. Groom your mount, familiar, or animal companion. 184. Healing potions taste like eye of newt? Flavor 'em! 185. The captured guard's trying to lie; you know he's a terrible liar, but he just won't give up! Make him think you've cast Zone of Truth: make the word LIAR blink over his head whenever he says something you're not satisfied with. 186. Infiltrating an enemy army? Color your insignia to their colors! 187. You're being chased by the city guard? No problem--pull small objects down from windowsills to land on their heads! Flower pots are especially funny... laundry could entangle them... hey, if you're lucky, you may manage to pull down a sunbathing cat! And we all know what Fluffy does to commoners... 188. Speaking of cats, moving a small object around is a great way to distract a wizard's cat familiar. Intelligence doesn't trump instinct when it has to do with moving objects and cats.

Kn1ves 10-06-07, 03:19 PM	208) Make flasks of water bubble and appear different colors. Flavor them as you see fit and sell them to the local townspeople as the first ever bottles of soda. Alternatly create items that are one time use Pretidigitation tablets that activate when dropped into water so people can buy them and make their own whenever they want.

dawnbringer 11-08-07, 03:20 PM	211) Play Mortal Kombat music everytime you enter a fight.
Adrian_Crane 11-08-07, 11:47 PM	Buy a couple of dead grey ioun stones. Cast permanent Faerie Fire on them, one blue, one red. Distribute to the town guard. Use Prestidigitation for sirens. WeeeeOOOOOOO "Cheese it! Here come the cops!" :eek: ...I suggested this one to my group while we were generating characters today. :D
schpeelah 11-09-07, 10:29 AM	Play Mortal Kombat music everytime you enter a fight.Can someone enlighten me why people post ideas for Ghost Sound here?

Undrhil 11-10-07, 07:28 PM	217) Warn the local authority figures that a Dark Knight is masquerading as a Paladin and then waylaying towns. When your enemy Paladin comes to town, make his clothes change colors to black while he's talking to the authorities, then run up, point at his and say "See!? There's the Dark Knight!" Now watch as the Paladin tries to get out of this without losing his Paladin-hood by attacking innocents. :-D
vgamer247 11-15-07, 06:22 PM	218) Navigate a dungeon by marking off where you have been 219) Locate invisible foe and then start marking him up for easy identification 220) It makes the perfect book light/page turner 221) Prestidigitation (in the PHB) says that it can't deal damage, so it makes an even better torture device in that its hot enough to light someone on fire, yet you can burn them all you want without ever killing them. 222) Label Secret/hidden doors with a sign that says, "SECRET DOOR HERE!!"
Shadowdaemon 11-17-07, 07:22 PM	Can someone enlighten me why people post ideas for Ghost Sound here? Someone hasn't read the full description of prestidigitation. You CAN make noises with it. 223) Snap purse/coin purse strings. 224) Slow the purse/coin purses descent to the ground then snatch it up. 225) Turn wood into paper(especially useful if it's a bridge and an enemy is standing there) (also good for breaking through a chest). 226) Turn the enemies weapon into quicksilver. 227) Manipulate the inner workings of a lock so that it pops open(good from a distance so that you don't spring a trap or get caught). 228) "Fix" someones false teeth. 229) Use it to scoop up various samples of various things(insects, liquids, fungi, etc) in a vial or flask without risking yourself. 230) Create a spur inside someones armor so that it becomes uncomfortable and distracts them or they take it off. 231) Carefully levitate alchemist's fire or acid over an enemy and then pour/drop it on them. 232) Flavor a cheap spice like a more expensive one and sell it in bulk to a spice merchant at a "discount". Laugh when you later find out that they were run out of a town for scamming someone.
Adrian_Crane 11-17-07, 09:18 PM	Kinda amateurish, but it's my first time playing a caster: 233) Upon getting out of our prison cells which had an AMF effect, I used Presti on a pebble outside the tower, turned it blue, and walked back to the cell to determine the boundaries of the field :D
Kedami 11-20-07, 06:31 PM	234) Gives Fighters and other such characters penalties on their Intimidate checks by turning their armour pink. 235) As above, but make the armour quack every time the character moves.
Thrushfeather 12-14-07, 04:06 PM	236) Summon the guards... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0512.html) Awsome.
Sigma34561 12-14-07, 04:16 PM	237) Turn a handfull of coins into a chain (a copper/silver/gold chain - Pity the fool)
Thrushfeather 12-15-07, 12:08 AM	238) Create a new "Mohawk" base class :mrt:
VanGrue 12-15-07, 03:46 PM	Someone hasn't read the full description of prestidigitation. You CAN make noises with it. Can someone point out where exactly it says this? I haven't seen anything remotely related to sound in the spell description. Even the expanded list in the D&D Excerpt of Tome and Blood (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20010707) (which is subject to DM rejection for any 3.5 game since it's 3.0) doesn't mention sound anywhere. There are also a lot of people using examples of using Prestidigitation to mimic a glamer or figment spell to "make something look like something else" which is just not possible. You can't even use Silent image to do this (ie: make someone look like they're missing a limb). In any case, there are a lot of funny and also down-right useful suggestions here! Is there any word on the limits of the "Change" power? For instance, without limit, you could easily change all your Gold, silver, copper coins to Platinum Pieces and instantly increase your effective wealth in regards to any merchants who can't tell if the coins have magic cast on them (which is probably a small number; merchants have got to be wise to mage-tricks.) It also seems like a bit much to assume you could change an enemy's weapon to quicksilver and take them out of the fight like that. Most swords, etc. are gonna weigh more than 1 lb. so I assume it would only work on 1 lb. worth, if it's even possible. Though, it seems like a fun idea to turn an enemy's shirt or pants to be made out of porcupine quills...
Kedami 12-15-07, 04:00 PM	It doesn't say it in the SRD, but in the PHB (at the top of the middle column on p264) it lists a few "common tricks". It does mention making "ethereal music" so it can be taken to mean that it can make sound, although it probably means moving things into objects that make eerie noises since it uses the word "tinklings". It also mentions that you cannot deal damage with it, so a few ideas are out.
VanGrue 12-15-07, 04:06 PM	I imagine they probably reduced the "common tricks" available in 3.5 or they might have mentioned the extra uses listed in Tome and Blood in either the PH or one of the more recent 3.5 books (like Complete Arcane/Mage). Heck, maybe they did and I never noticed. Setting things on fire with Flamefinger seems a bit beyond the abilities of the spell mentioned in the 3.5 PH.
Iabes_Q_c_a_Mahorella 12-16-07, 02:14 PM	I combined Grease with Pres to make a flamethrower... Grease for fuel, in a hollow rock, with 1 pres to create preasure, and another to set it on fire at the nozzle. ... my DM's awsome.
Goof 12-17-07, 03:07 PM	I do feel quite a few of the listed are pushing the envelope, and some are well over the line. Would have been nice to have people comment on them. But good ideas. Here are a few from me that I have used. 239. During someone else’s watch, make resteling noises in the grass/brush around camp. Move objects about. (works great after an ugly pixy encounter) 240. Change the cleric in your group holy item that identifies what good he follows. 241. Keep your familiar entertained. 242. Have things mysterisly show up in parties rouge possession. 243. Impress the kids with cool effects 244. Make sure the Elf bard shirts never stay buttoned. 245. When captured, create a distraction to send the guards the other way. 246. Use on food to get a job to cook for nobles. (inside jobs are easier) 247. Give yourself a cool unmistakable tattoo that is plainly seen, but when authorities look for this tattooed person, they can’t find him. 248. Keep your cape flapping, hero style. 249. Get all the coins out of the wishing pond.
SpudMaster 12-17-07, 03:48 PM	Oh, and by the way..... EVERYONE WHO HAS POSTED ON THIS THREAD IS NOW OFFICIALLY AWESOME!!!! For they are giving good ideas for the best cantrip ever! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :clap: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :clap: best ever.... eh - sorry I am jumping on this bad wagon late - while this forum has opened up my eyes exponentially to what is truly an awesome spell - the use and duration of mage hand is also pretty darn sweet.
Goof 12-18-07, 04:03 PM	250. Used silent/still spell so no one knows, and tie the shoes of all opponents during the arguing phase, or just tie up the opponent’s shoes one at a time during combat. Only 250 out of 1001, ltos more to go!
Hand of Vecna 12-19-07, 10:26 AM	251) 1-hour Viagra
Kesthol 12-19-07, 06:47 PM	252) Write "I prepared Delayed Blast Explosive Runes this morning." on a piece of paper. Hand it to someone else and run. :mage: (you may also cast Fireball at the target (in a few rounds) to make it more effective :smirk: )
viscen 01-28-08, 11:26 PM	253) write above the bar that kicked you out, "gay bar" 254) make said bar's drinks taste bad 255) turn windows of the building you broke into black so you can lighten the place and walk about to take care of business.
Zephiel 01-31-08, 02:47 PM	256) Win an argument [Nobody can be taken seriously with a neon pink face] 257) Color the drow like a sun elf, or the sun elf like a drow. Or better yet do both while the pair are fighting. [And don't forget to run, they'll stop arguing, but they'll be after you instead]
Seflore 02-01-08, 01:32 PM	258: Color a warriors shield red when walking past a bull. 259: You and your friend are running from a Dire Bear. You tie his shoes together for a quick escape.
Pepitom 02-09-08, 08:08 PM	260: Soil the contents of an opponents nose. Distractions are always nice. 261: Remove flash marks from walls left by fireballs. Pesky orc outlines are no more.
SirSalmon 02-13-08, 04:26 PM	262) Make the party rogue's weapons glow when he tries to sneak them into the city 263) Play the guitar solo from Freebird when your party goes on one final suicidal rampage against the bad guys. Or play Eye of the Tiger when someone is training to gain a level.
