DM Nagging: It's pretty much my job

Each player is now a moderator of their game board. This is mostly for the sake of thematics and in the unlikely event you need those permissions.

Throwing this up because I feel like there needs to be something between 8 and 14 for this sort of perception type deal.

Archmage's Prying Eyes
Divination
Level: Sor/Wiz 11
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: One mile
Effect: Ten or more levitating eyes
Target: Personal
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell functions exactly as Prying Eyes, Greater except the eyes report what they see as the spell Telepathic Bond, limiting the number of eyes to 1d4+1 per 3 caster levels (to a maximum of +6).

The target is never flatfooted. The eyes gain a Hide modifier equal to the target's Caster Level. The eye's maximum Spot modifier is +35 instead of +25.

That's fine, we can try that. Look good?

[Iron Dragoon]

Looks good for me.

Speaking of Archmage's Prying Eyes, I'd like to take it as a permanency thing. Yes/No?

Dune, you forgot to add this spell to the Spell Collection:

Done.

Any issue with Alyssa learning the mental partition spell from either Emily or Dolmaya?

[Anastasia]

So embarrassing story time. I was supposed to make Dolmaya this weekend. Guess what I didn't do?

Nailed it. No idea where the todo went, somehow it slithered out of my mind entirely.

I'm gonna be slow today because I'm doing that on the side.

[Iron Dragoon]

Speaking of, you were also going to do a new realm development thing too.

So spell theft is a cool spell that I didn't realize existed when I was trying to come up with a custom spell. Go figure.

It's in Complete Scoundrel if you need to look it up. It's also a Bard 4 and Sorc/Wiz 5 spell with a dispel check max of +15, which is kinda not great.

This is my take on a strong but more narrow version of the spell. I do not know if it's balanced, but I thought I'd try it out. If one were to just make it a more buff version of Spell Theft, I think that'd be okay, but I'd probably say in that case you make the dispel check maximum 30. Also, I think it'd be fair for Magic domain folks to get access to it, but YMMV on that.


Moore's Modified Spell Theft
Abjuration
Level: Bard 8, Hexblade 8, Sorc/Wiz 10
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target or Area:   One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell functions like spell theft, except as described here.

You may choose to make a dispel check (Maximum +40) against any spell that target has, plus one additional spell per 10 caster levels. Any spell dispelled is treated as if affected by spell theft, with the same limitations.

If I understand it correctly, Summon Monster is a Good/Evil/Chaotic/Lawful spell if the creature summoned with it is an outsider with the corresponding alignment.

What if you summon a Fire creature? Does Summon Monster become a Fire spell?

[Ebiris]

Yes.

When you use a summoning spell to summon an air, chaotic, earth, evil, fire, good, lawful, or water creature, it is a spell of that type.

[Anastasia]

Eb's correct.

I'll roll it out after this big thing, I think. You sorta got swept into events.

No problem with it, but the maximum dispel check is a bit out of line for the level of spell. I'd expect to see 30 or so there.
