Feedback on the monster indicated that I needed to nail that one very precisely. So I looked at spells that create an effect which itself has stats, like the spell gutsnake, from Magic of Faerûn. Check it out, or any other spell with has stats for the effect. That way you don't have to badger your brain with questions such as the bab of the "snake" and other niceties...

Does it fit in a Domain? components: v,s,df maybe a more expensive component per casting? casting time: 1 action duration:3 rnds +1 rnd per 2 lvl's range: 5 ft +5 ft per 2 lvls, max of 50 ft. never before seen a cap on range, I don't see a point in it remaining. target: minimum of 1 creature, max of 1 creature per "Snake" spellresistance: yes spell penetration must be checked for each "Snake" in turn, and only if all "Snakes" fail to penetrate is the target save from this spell for its duration. effect: 1 "Snake" per 4 levels, at 2d8 blungeon dam. and +1 electricity dam. per level up to a max. of +15, attacks are made at a touch to hit of bab of the caster plus the casters charisma mod 2d8 bludgeoning for a small or medium creature is quite high. Medium sized snakes out of the MM do 1d4+str. Besides which, the main point of the spell is the electrical component... Right? doing so much physical damage seems odd. Also how many hp do the snakes have? What are they vulnerable too? etc etc. If the spell is to last rounds than these sorts of questions need answers. hope some of this helps regards the cute and fluffy DM
