Flensing Transmutation [Evil] Level: Sorcerer/wizard 8 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One corporeal creature Duration: 4 rounds Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text Spell Resistance: Yes With a cruel utterance, you complete the spell and unleash its terrible energy. A sickeningly wet ripping sound accompanies the sight of strips of fl esh being torn away, as if some invisible hand was attempting to peel your target like an onion. When you cast this spell, you literally strip the flesh from a corporeal creature’s body, inflicting incredible pain and psychological trauma. Each round, the subject takes 2d6 points of damage, 1d6 points of Charisma damage, and 1d6 points of Constitution damage. A successful Fortitude save negates the ability damage and reduces the hit point damage by half for that round, but does not end the spell. Flensing has no effect on creatures in gaseous form. Material Component: An onion.

If it doesn't exist, you might go with the following: That sounds like a Wizard Daily attack spell, probably in the epic tier, that does ongoing untyped damage that weakens a target's combat effectiveness. Like so: Flensing Wizard Daily Attack Level 25 Flavor text as above. Arcane, Implement Range 5 squares Target: One creature Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude Hit: 2d6 + Intelligence modifier damage and target takes ongoing 20 damage (save ends). Miss: Half damage and target takes ongoing 10 damage (save ends). Effect: When a creature takes damage from this spell, it suffers a -2 penalty to all attack rolls and defenses until the end of its next turn. The real strength of this power is the untyped ongoing damage, which is harder to resist than anything else. I think the effect--which reflects how painful and disfiguring the spell is) makes it a very neat control option. I might have considered having it suck out healing surges, but then we're talking about it in terms of a PC attack spell and most monsters don't have surges. EDIT: If you want to make this spell really, REALLY awesome, make it ongoing 30 damage (save ends), ongoing 15 damage (save ends) on a miss. In that case, it should probably be level 29. Cheers

#6 eriksdb Oct 29, 2010 16:08:33	Ah, now I remember where I had seen it before. Szass Tam has this spell as an attack power in his stat block in the 4e FRCG. Check it out there, or look it up in the D&D Compendium (www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/da...) if you're a DDI member. You could create a version of this spell for PCs to use, I'm sure. Cheers
