09-30-06, 10:58 AM Hallo! Just thought about curses... and how they have such a nice flavor. I designed a few curses, how about you? Any curse or variation on a curse you care to share?

Lemmestart.

Curse of mediocrity
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-affecting]
Level: Sor/Wiz 6
Components: V, S, M
Casting time 1 full round.
Range: Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous; see text.
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Immediately after being affected by this spell, the target falls into a comatose slumber for 1 minute/level. Immediately this sleep starts, the target´s Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores become 10 plus race modifiers, even if worse already, it loses all class features and abilities, gains a -4 penalty to Will saves, and loses all of his/her memories as well. Those effects last even after the target awakens.
The subject stays in this degraded state until it receives the effects of a greater Restoration, heal, break enchantment, or a carefully worded Limited Wish or Wish spell. At the DM´s option, the effect may also end on its own during life-or-death situations, or when retained skills and feats (only class ability bonus feats are lost) are used during a long period of time.
Level construction: I think this is a bit more powerful than feeblemind or Baleful Polymorph (Level 5), as well as being as powerful as Slay Living (Level 5), simply because it´s not enough with a level 5 spell (Raise Dead) to reverse its effects.
Material component: A square foot of dirty cheap cloth.
Just imagine. You could have the heroes serving burgers in McDonalds before they even know what hit them! They´ll awaken someday, yes, but by then you´ll have all the time in the world.

I´m afraid titles are not editable.
