Demihuman Deities question Deep Duerra grants it's priests the following granted powers: 1st: Thought Capture 3rd: Detect Psionics 5th: Deflect Psionics 7th: Augment Psionics 10th: Mind Blank 13th: Lower Resistance 15th: Mindshatter As per p.56 of the Demihumans Deities book. Can someone who has this book please tell me what these powers are ?? Thought capture (1st level Cleric spell), Lower Resistance (5th level Wizard spell) and Midshatter (5th level Cleric spell) are from Tome of Magic (I have this book and thus the spell explanations). And is Mind Blank the 8th level Wizard spell (seems a hefty power for 10th cleric level) ?? But, I don't know what Detect Psionics, Deflect Psionics and Augment Psionics are ?? Are they spells or are they Psionic powers or specific powers described in Demihuman Deities ?? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : Manshoon Prime Date : 04-01-04 09:04 AM They're all Deep Duerra-specific priest spells described in Demihuman Deities. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Author : Shadowfax7 Date : 04-01-04 12:41 PM All as in . . . Detect Psionics, Deflect Psionics and Augment Psionics. OR all as in ALL the abilities, including the ones I thought were identical to Tome of Magic spells or Mind Blank from the PHB ?? Can you post the explanations to them by summarizing them, not word for word ?? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 4] Author : Manshoon Prime Date : 04-02-04 12:36 PM Actually, I have to correct myself... Detect Psionics is a 1st-level wizard spell that works like detect magic except it senses psionic effects and uses. Augment Psionics is a 2nd-level priest spell that grants you 3d8 additional PSPs for 1 round + 1 round/level. Deflect Psionics is a 4th-level priest spell that turns away any psionic attack directed at the priest if the attacker fails a save vs. spell. On a failed save, the psionic attack is directed towards any other being in range (but never the attacker who launched the psionic attack). If there is no other being in range, the spell fails. The spell also fails if the attacker succeeds at the save. The spell lasts 7 rounds otherwise. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Author : Shadowfax7 Date : 04-02-04 01:09 PM Thank you very much, Manshoon. Where are those spells from ?? Encyclopedia of Magic ?? They are not PHB or Tome of Magic spells. Also, what about Mind Blank ?? Is that the 8th level Wizard Spell in the PHB ?? or something else, considering it's gained at 10th level. I presume I am correct on Lower Resistance and Mindshatter being the spells from Tome of Magic ?? If you can answer these further questions it would be much appreciated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Author : Manshoon Prime Date : 04-02-04 01:29 PM Detect Psionics is in Pages from the Mages. Augment Psionics and Deflect Psionics are in Demihuman Deities under the entry for Deep Duerra. Mind Blank is the 8th-level wizard spell in the PHB. You are correct about Lower Resistance and Mindshatter. Be aware, however, about Lower Resistance. It does not function as described in the ToM. It was revised in the Wizard's Spell Compendiums, so it's slightly different now. How, I don't remember. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Author : Shadowfax7 Date : 04-02-04 01:44 PM Thank you again. You have been a great help. Wizard's Spell Compendium ?? Is that the same (maybe the correct name) or just similar to Encyclopedia of Magic ?? I don't seem to recall that book in 1st or 2nd ed ?? Oh, one other thing . . . Pages from the Mages. Is that the old column from Dragon Magazine or yet some other supplement ?? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Author : Magespawn Date : 04-03-04 04:07 AM Wizard's Spell Compendium- 4 thick softback books, they look just like Encyclopedia of Magic books. It was more for 2e but 1e could use it with no problems.;) Pages from the Mages- 1 softback accessory 128 pages (supplement). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 9] Author : Shadowfax7 Date : 04-03-04 09:25 AM Thanx Magespawn. and thanx again Manshoon . . . The only granted power that blows my mind is an 8th level Wizard spell (Mind Blank) 1/day at 10th level !!! At first I had thought this was either a different spell with the same name or the psionic defense by the same name, but that is gained by all psionics and didn't make much sense as a granted power. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 08:21 AM.
