Campaign Design - Spells: Ease Pain

Ease Pain (from the Book of Exalted Deeds)
Conjuration (Healing)

Level: Beloved of Brid 2, Cleric/Favored Soul 2
Components: S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target, Effect, or Area: Creature touched

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

Ease pain immediately removes any lingering effects of pain, including penalties imposed by symbol of pain, angry ache, and similar spells. It does not heal any damage or other effects not directly related to pain.

If the target creature is under some effect that causes continuing damage, the pain is eased only for a moment. Ease pain cannot bypass the need for a Concentration check to cast a spell under such circumstance, nor can it allow a creature subject to crown of thorns to act normally since the spell's damage is ongoing.

Components: V, S, M, F
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Touch

Target, Effect, or Area: Dead creature touched

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: None (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This shamanic ritual is similar to the raise dead spells, except it is more complex and more dangerous. The caster performs the ritual over the body of the dead creature, then sinks into a deep trance. The caster's spirit travels out from the Material World and into the realms of the dead to retrieve the creature's spirit and return it to life. The subject's soul must be free and willing to return, as per raise dead. If the subject does not wish to be restored, the spell automatically fails.

The caster must overcome a challenge in the Spirit Realm in order to restore the subject to life. Generally, this challenge has a Challenge Rating equal to the level or Hit Dice of the subject, although the DM may modify the challenge as necessary. The challenge may be overcoming a spirit of the Challenge Rating, figuring out a puzzle or trap, or something else developed by the DM. if the shaman overcomes the challenge, the subject's spirit is free to return to life, as if a raise dead spell were successfully cast upon it.

Material component: Rare herbs and incense worth at least 500 shillings.

Focus: A drum or other musical instrument.

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Touch

Target, Effect, or Area: Creature or item touched

Duration: Variable (see text)

Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)

Similar to remove curse, this spell allows the caster to grapple with the spiritual manifestation of a disease on the Spirit Realm. After casting the spell and touching the target, the caster falls into a deep trance. The caster finds himself on a field of combat confronted by the spiritual essence of the disease, which takes the form of a creature with a challenge rating of 1 (or higher for some particularly virulent or magical diseases). The caster and the creature fight in normal combat. If the caster wins, the disease is cured. if the creature wins, the spell ends and the caster awakens unharmed. He cannot attempt to confront the same disease until he has gained a new caster level.

Campaign Design - Spells: Invigorate Dead

Invigorate Dead (from Relics & Rituals)
Conjuration (Healing)

Level: Cleric/Favored Soul 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Touch

Target, Effect, or Area: Dead creature touched

Duration: 1 hour per caster level

Saving Throw: None (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This spell allows you to restore a temporary semblance of life to a deceased creature. You can only invigorate creatures that have been dead less than 1 hour per caster level. The subject's soul must be free and willing to return. if the subject's soul is able but not willing to return, then the spell does not work. There is no loss of level or Constitution when invigorated, as there is for raise dead.

Invigorate dead raises the subject's hit points to 1 per caster level and the effects of all diseases, poisons, and so on within the body at the time of invigoration are delayed though not completely undone. Additionally, ability scores that are 0 or less are raised to 1. Pieces of a creatures that are missing at the time of invigoration remain missing. Constructs, elementals, undead, and those who have died of old age cannot be aided or affected by this spell.

All these benefits come at a great price. Creatures affected by invigorate dead have greatly reduced vitality and are considered to be slowed. They receive only a partial action each round and have a -2 penalty to armor Class, melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, and Reflex saves. Their Jump distance is halved. There is a 75% chance per spell that any spells one of the invigorated dead had prepared prior to his demise are considered prepared.

If this spell (plus any subsequent castings that are chained together for extended duration) ends before the creature has received a raise dead or better life restoration spell, then the creature cannot ever be wholly restored to life except by true resurrection, but can continue to exist in its invigorated state as long as new invigorate dead spells can be cast.

Material component: A diamond worth at least 100 shillings, which is consumed in the casting.

The stew can be splashed onto a single undead creature within 10 feet. if a ranged touch attack succeeds, the undead creature takes 1d6+1 points of damage per serving splashed on it. The undead creature can apply spell resistance and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.

Focus: An engraved stewpot worth at least 50 shillings.
