Casting

Casting Time 1 immediate action
Components V, S, M (a barbed wire)

Effect

Range Within 15 ft. of a space you occupy
Area 15-ft. line when triggered.
Duration 3 rounds or until discharged (D)
Saving Throw Reflex half; Spell Resistance yes

Description

You can cast this spell as a reaction to a creature entering a space within 15-ft. of you. For the next 3 rounds, whenever any creature aside from yourself enters a space within range of this spell, a short bolt of lightning lashes out from you 15-ft. in their direction. This bolt deals 2d4+1 electricity damage to that creature and all other creatures in the bolt’s path (Reflex halves) but also deals its minimum damage to you (no save) as electricity damage. This spell immediately triggers on the creature that triggered your casting. Each creature can only trigger this spell once per round, and your movement cannot trigger it. This spell can trigger a number of times equal to half your caster level (minimum 1).

If the effect of this spell would reduce you to 0 hp or lower, it violently fizzles as you resist it, dealing no damage but reducing you to 1 hp and ending the spell.

The self-damage can be reduced by your immunities and resists but is not subject to your spell resistance.

Test Campaign House Rules

0 House Rules Directory v2 House Rules General Rules and Etiquette Changing Rules: Rules may be patched or changed during the campaign. This will only happen between chapters. Scheduling: Please reply to scheduling messages ASAP. It does not have to be a yes/no immediately, but if it’s a maybe, you should at least give a reason why it’s a maybe. Preferably with an ETA of when you’ll get better information. If a player fails to show up to a session 2 or more times without good reason, they may be removed from the game. Character Motivations: Regardless of the PCs alignment and personality, I want them to cooperate with each other. For smoothness, I want the party to always be on the same map and to actively help each other during combat. The characters’ motivations must therefore be aligned, at least until the end of a chapter. If character motivations are misaligned, the minority half may have a separate session, or become NPCs until they realign. Roleplay:...
