Random DM nagging.

[Nephrite]

Hooray!

Final nagging for today (maybe)

I would like to make a homebrew spell or two in addition to the one I currently have:

Inspire Great Metamagic
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting, Sonic]
Level: Bard 6
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 3 rounds

When you cast this spell, your next use of inspire greatness can be augmented in one of two ways. You may choose to give them the effects of both maximize and empower spell feats or both the quicken and widen metamagic effects. Both of these effects have no effect on the spell level.

These bonuses are in addition to the normal benefits of inspire greatness. If you do not inspire greatness before the spell's duration expires, the effects are lost.


I don't know if this one is too strong for a Bard 6, so if you wanted to make it Bard 7 that'd be fine.

Okay, so before I get really creative with Major Creation, let's set some limits. What is the complexity limit on what can be created in a single casting. I can create simple objects, and moderately complex ones such as with the paintbrush. I'm assuming that so long as the object is unremarkable, not masterwork, and not a precisely-timed clockwork mechanism, I can create anything I like, with actual complexity requiring a skill check. Yes?

[Anastasia]

Sounds reasonable enough.

[Anastasia]

Neph: Why quicken and widen together? I get maximize and empower, but not those two.

[Nephrite]

I was thinking some sort of emergency mass healing or something.

[Iron Dragoon]

This isn't for Dune, but rather the other PCs. I'd like to know what buffs you all would like me to prep. Everyone's got a ton of magical gear on that give stat bonuses, so I'm not sure what I can prep that'll stack. Toss me some suggestions.

[Anastasia]

What spellcasting do you have access to?

[Nephrite]

Dune, am I okay to take Portal Dissonance (Planar Handbook, page 29), in place of Mass Suggestion at 18 (I replaced Suggestion earlier in leveling)?

[Anastasia]

What did you replace it with?

[Nephrite]

Haunting Melody replaced Suggestion.

[Anastasia]

Haunting Melody replaced Suggestion.

That's fine.

[Nephrite]

Can I take Obscure Lore to get a +2 bonus to Bardic Knack instead?

EDIT: Question, since the reroll aspect of Lore of the Gods was removed, is it still present on Spiritual Advisor?

[Anastasia]

I'd rather you just make a new feat to do that, Neph.

What's spiritual advisor?

[Nephrite]

It's in Complete Champion, page 127.

But the summary is As long as the spiritual advisor is present, it helps you recall bits of trivia, history, or other knowledge. This knowledge can be as general or specific as is required, and the information gained grants you a +4 insight bonus on all Knowledge checks while the spell is in effect. You can even attempt checks with Knowledge skills in which you have no skill ranks or retry a Knowledge check you failed before casting the spell.


As for the feat, sure, I think that's easy enough.


Bardic Forte [General]
Prerequisite: Bardic knack alternative class feature, cha 20
Benefit: You gain a +2 insight bonus on checks using your bardic knack class feature.
