Wildfire Curse

Wildfire Curse

School transmutation [curse, fire, sorcery]; Level sorcerer 9

CASTING

Casting Time 1 swift action
Components none

EFFECT

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one primary target, plus one or more secondary targets (see text)
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex half (see text); Spell Resistance yes

DESCRIPTION

As your foe bursts into flame, a fiery mote files at another foe nearby.

The target bursts into flame, taking 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 25d6; Reflex half) and each creature adjacent to the target takes 2d6 points of fire damage. Furthermore, the target catches on fire, taking 2d6 points of fire damage per round at the end of its turn each round until the creature dies or the fire is quenched as normal.

A second creature within 20 ft. of the first takes 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 20d6; Reflex half) and is at risk of catching on fire (Reflex save DC 15).

If the secondary target failed its saving throw, another mote of fire flies to another creature of your choice within range of the secondary target. Each time a target fails its saving throw, a new target is chosen, however no more than four creatures can be targeted in a single round. Repeat the secondary effect (up to four times on subsequent rounds) until a target succeeds on its saving throw. If the spell should spread beyond your field of vision, the spell targets the creature closest to the previous target.

You can only target a creature once with a single casting of this spell and you cannot end the spell voluntarily so the spell can target allies, bystanders or even yourself. Should the spell continue beyond the first round, the effect can be dispelled or removed with a limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell.

Vitriolic Breath

Vitriolic Breath

School conjuration (creation) [acid, sorcery]; Level sorcerer 1

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S

EFFECT

Range 15 ft
Area cone shaped burst
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

DESCRIPTION

You exhale a mist that burns and disorients your foes, and a lingering fog obscures you.

You produce a stationary billowing mass of misty vapors like the obscuring mist spell. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

In addition to obscuring sight, this spell's vapors are highly acidic. The mist deals 2d6 points of acid damage to each creature and object within it. The mist fades at the end of your next turn and a moderate wind (11+ mph), such as from a gust of wind spell, disperses the mist.

This spell does not function underwater.

At 11th level, the mist deals lingers for 3 rounds, can only be dispersed by a strong wind (21+ mph), which disperses the fog in 1 round, and deals an additional 1d6 points of acid damage to each creature living creature in the area unless they hold their breath.

Special: A sorcerer with the draconic bloodline creates a mist that lingers for 3 rounds or 5 rounds at 11th level.

Thunder Slam

Thunder Slam

School evocation [sonic, sorcery]; Level sorcerer 1

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components S

EFFECT

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect one creature
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance yes

DESCRIPTION

A shock wave of sound slams into the enemy.

You produce a sweeping rush of sound that can hurl the target away from you. The creature takes 1d10 points of sonic damage per 2 caster level (maximum 5d10) and flies in a straight line away from you. If you wish to hurl the creature toward a particular target, you must succeed on an attack roll to hit the target, using your base attack bonus + your Charisma modifier. Creatures that miss their target land in a square adjacent to the target.

Your Charisma score determines the weight of the creatures that can be affected. Treat your Charisma score as the effective Strength score of the spell and find the heavy load range for that score under Table: Carrying Capacity. The spell is treated as a Large creature so you multiply the maximum load by x2. You can hurl a creature whose weight falls within a heavy load 5 feet. For every 5 points of effective Strength over the minimum required to lift a creature as a heavy load, double this distance.

For example, a sorcerer with a Charisma score of 15 has a maximum load of 400 lbs with this spell. If she targets a creature weighing 150 lbs. and carrying 50 lbs. of gear, it will be hurled 10 ft. If she targets a halfling weighing 35 lbs. and carrying 20 lbs. of gear, it will be hurled 20 ft.

If the creature is hurled against a solid surface, it takes damage as if it had fallen that distance (1d6 points per 10 ft.) and lands in a prone position.
