08-18-04, 01:58 AM The following are spells for a base class located in another thread, the Channeler (http://64.223.12.43/showthread.php?s=&postid=4181658#post4181658). I'll probably be giving these a look over and changing or perhaps replacing a few of them, but I wanted to get them down in one go. The Channeler is a class with spell progression up to 6th level, and a somewhat narrow focus on support-type spells, with a touch of impairment mixed in.

Comments are welcome. (Keep in mind that the levels for these spells are for a reduced spell progression and wouldn't translate directly over to, for example, cleric 1-9 spells. I haven't listed where the spells would be for other classes, but some of the spells would be 1-2 levels higher {much like a bard gets mass charm monster at 6th level instead of 8th, or greater dispel magic at 5th instead of 6th or break enchantment at 4th instead of 5th}.)

You attempt to restore the mind of a single creature to its normal state. The target may immediately make a new saving throw against any fear effect as well as effects causing the target to be paralysized, nauseated, or sickened. The creature receives a resistance bonus to this saving throw equal to one-third the caster's level, to a maximum of +4 at 12th level.

If the caster is evil, the bonuses are profane instead of sacred.

Essence Reduction
Necromancy
Level: Channeler 2

Essence Reduction, Greater
Necromancy
Level: Channeler 3
Saving Throw: Will Partial (see text)

This spell functions as per essence reduction, except for that a successful saving throw allows a creature to increase its effective hit dice by 5 for the purposes of determining the condition inflicted. A creature who successfully saves and would normally only be sickened negates the effect instead.

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round/level

You tear at the essence of a creature, causing it to unravel. The spell's target is sickened and receives 1 point of constitution damage each round. The target receives a new saving throw on their turn each round (after receiving the consitution damage).

Empower Creature
Transmutation
Level: Channeler 4

Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

You empower the basic essence of a creature with pure divine energy. The creature glows with an unearthly radiance that sheds light as if a torch, as well as gaining a number of benefits. The creature gains 2d8 temporary hit points, a +1 insight bonus to attack rolls, and the ability to make an additional move action each round.

Conjuration (healing)
Level: Channeler 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level (D)

During the duration of this spell, you benefit from a greatly improved ability to restore the essences of creatures. When using your healing class ability, you may affect a creature within 30 feet instead of having to touch them. You may also heal as a free action; when doing so, treat the spell sacrificed as two levels lower. This takes the place of a quickened spell for the round.

Amplify Boon
Universal
Level: Channeler 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)

During the duration of this spell, you may choose to have any spell of 3rd level or less that targets a single creature affect yourself as well. If you do so, you must pay any associated costs of the spell twice, such as material or experience components.

This spell functions as per ability boost, except that it affects multiple creatures, and grants a +4 bonus. The selected ability must be the same for all creatures.

Anathema
Evocation
Level: Channeler 6
Components: V, S, M
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: 20-ft.-radius burst
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes

You channel a field of powerful divine energy, attuned to be the direct antithesis of a particular creature's essence. This takes the form of a burst of rippling energy, which does not hamper vision or movement. When casting the spell, select one creature. If the selected creature is within the area of effect at the end of your turn, he is ravaged by the divine energies and must make a fortitude save. Failure means that the creature is drained of 1d4 points of charisma and receives one negative level. Success means that the creature instead takes 1d4 points of charisma damage. If the burst simply moves over the creature or the creature moves into its area, the creature takes 1 point of charisma damage.

On your turn, you can use a move action to either direct the burst or change the creature to which it is attuned. When directing the burst, you may move it up to 50 feet in a straight line within the spell's area of effect. Changing the creature to which the burst is attuned simply means selecting a new creature.

Tear Essence
Necromancy
Level: Channeler 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

You tear the essence of a creature, causing terrible damage. The creature takes 1d8 damage/2 levels (maximum 10d8) and is permanently blinded and deafened. A successful will save halves the damage, negates the blindness, and only leaves the creature deafened for 2d4 rounds.
