Yep. If you can cast it, then slam the door shut and wait a bit, PW: Pain is great at softening bad guys up.
Thing is, say you tag empower on it. Now it does 4d4 x .5 = 10.5 rounds average, 3.5 x .5 = 5.75 damage average, which is just over 60 damage average, or a straight up kill on anything it does max damage to.
Minor correction: due to rounding, the expected per-round damage from Empowered PW:Pain is 5.0, not 5.75.

D&D 3rd / Re: Advanced Learning choices for Unseen Seer

Brain Spider (L7 Domain spell; XPH & SRD) - not bad for an intrigue game.

Choose Destiny (L9 Domain spell; Races of Destiny) - get 5e-style Advantage on basically all rolls for 1 round/level. Begging so hard for Persist abuse.

Commune With Nature (L4 Ranger spell; SRD) - it's level 5 for the Druid so you get to cast this spell first, and rub it in that dirty hippy's face for up to two character levels.

I Smell Your Fear (L4 Ranger; Ghostwalk) - it's locate creature except 1 hour/level instead of 10 min/level, and the spell's name is 4,000% more awesome.

Listening Lorecall (L2 Druid; SpComp) - Unseen Seer gets skill points, Blindsense is a fine use for them.

Lay of the Land (L1 Ranger; SpComp) - Summons your mother- it's a mini find the path but only costs a 1st level spell slot. If you find the path interesting, this should be high on your list.

Lore of the Gods (L2 Cleric; CChamp) - +5 on all Knowledge checks unless your god has the Knowledge domain, in which case you get +10 instead. Hello Knowledge Devotion.

Grave Strike (L1 Cleric; CAdv) - sneak attack the undead for 1 round; you're an Unseen Seer so you should have some kind of Sneak Attack dice available, but you are mostly a Wizard so maybe you have better things to do with your actions.

D&D 3rd / Symbiote spell-like abilities
« on: June 22, 2017, 12:55:12 PM »
Who is the caster for these sorts of abilities? Do they use the host's action?

For example, I'm looking at the Mind Leech in FF (p.217), and it's got a Psionics (Sp) block which lists suggestion, charm monster, and dominate person.

For example, there's a Mind Leech in a human's head, and a bugbear is nearby. The mind leech's charm monster effect is used. To whom is the target bugbear friendly?
- The human (and the target creature is unaware of the leech);
- The leech (and the target creature becomes aware of the leech);
- Both the human and the leech (somehow)?

A header logo would work if someone has one/can make one.
