Name: Mage Fists

Just my two cents on this one. Anything that is going to grant someone an extra feat. Even for only a couple rounds I would think would have to be a level or two higher. Granted with a Sor/Wiz's BAB he would not be all that great with this, but once you get into higher levels he could actually become somewhat decent with his fists using this.

Name: Cause Greater Fear

Being able to cause fear in any living creature that is not immune to it no matter what level sounds more like it should be power word fear. Granted you have a Will save on it which would make it easier to negate for higher level creatures but I still think that there should be some type of HD cap on it

Name: Knockout Fireball

Actually I like this one. For those times when you want to be flashy but not actually kill anything.

Name: Duplicate

Does it have the caster's HP but one level lower? Can it cast spells? If it can does it only get one cast and then it is done or can it rememorize? If it does not get spells then with only the caster's HP it will not last long if it has to melee fight.

Granted you could be using this for something other than combat but still curious about the spells and re-meming them.

Being that I am at work I will have to hold of on the other two spells.

Nov 20, 2004 7:34:14 Personally with mage Fists I would not grant all the benefits of the feat Improved Unarmed Strike. I would have the spell simply treat the mage as being armed for purposes of defense (Basically no AOO by opponents that are armed) and treat the mage as unarmed against unarmed opponents. The only thing this does is remove any AOO the mage would recieve against unarmed opponents and prevents AOO by armed opponents. Doing 1d6 for damage is not that much especially if kept to subdual damage, if it is lethal damage you might want to punch up the level by 1.

Of course this is just my Opinion.

Improved Unarmed Strike(General):You are skilled at fighting while unarmed. Benefit:You are considered to be armed even when unarmed-that is, armed opponents do not get attacks of opportunity when you attack them while unarmed. However, you still get an attack of opportunity against any opponent who makes an unarmed attack on you.

The 3.0 player's handbook description of Improved Unarmed Strike. There you have it, Darthsylver.

Wasn't there a 2ed spell like this called Simlacrum or something? I really liked that spell. Our group lost it's rogues due to or DM's very deadly traps. As the party wizard I'd whip up a Simlacrum or whatever it was and send out as fodder. Crude but effective.

Nov 22, 2004 22:35:21 The Simulacrum spell still exist in 3.5 edition. Though I'm not sure how well it compares to this Duplicatespell.

I play 3.0

Dragonlance is 3.5 by default. I can understand not wanting to pick up the new books, or whatever, but it's been a couple of years now and if you bring up a subject like this you're going to get 3.5 answers for the most part.

Cheers,
Cam
