[Aura] Spells
« on: June 22, 2017, 08:34:23 PM »
New Spells
Many of the new spells here are designed to enhance a paladin's smiting ability. However, any spellcaster who can cast these spells can use them with any smiting abilities they may have, such as the granted power of the Destruction domain or the smite good ability of a blackguard. These new smite spells share certain things in common. They all have a casting time of 1 swift action, a range of personal, and a target entry of "your smite attack". They affect a single smite attack made immediately after casting.

Admixtured Smite
Evocation [See Text]
Level: Blackguard 2, Cleric 2, Paladin 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: Your smite attack

This spell enhances a smite attack that you make. Choose two of the following energy types: cold, electricity, or fire. Your smite's bonus damage applies twice, once as each of the two chosen energy types instead of its normal type. This spell's descriptor is the same as the two types of energy you choose (for example, if you chose both cold and fire, this would be an Evocation [Cold, Fire] spell).

Admixtured smite, elemental smite, and energized smite do not stack with each other. Only the most powerful one applies.



Anchoring Smite
Abjuration
Level: Blackguard 4, Paladin 5
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: Your smite attack
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Reflex negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

This spell enhances a smite attack that you make. If your smite attack hits a valid subject, the subject's movements, both physical and metaphysical, become impeded. On a failed save, the subject is entangled and held fast and is blocked from extradimensional travel, as per the dimensional anchor spell. On a successful saving throw, the subject is still entangled, but can move at half speed and is not blocked from extradimensional travel.



Awesome Smite
Transmutation
Level: Blackguard 2, Paladin 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: Your smite attack

Saving Throw: Reflex negates

On a failure, the subject is knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of your choice and falls prone. You can only push the subject in a straight line, and the subject can’t move closer to you than the square it started in. If an obstacle prevents the completion of the subject’s move, the subject and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage, and the subject stops in the space adjacent to the obstacle. The subject's movement in this way does not provoke attacks of opportunity from you, although it may from other creatures.

Just like dismissal, there is a 20% chance of actually sending the subject to a plane other than its own.
