New Add-on Pack: Bucket o' Spells 1.1

Requirements: The Bucket o’ Spells 1.0 pack is designed as an add-on to the Co8 5.5.0 Beta mod-pack.

The Bucket o’ Spells pack includes the previously released Playful NPCs 1.4 add-on, and can be installed over the top or separately (either way, by activating the Bucket o’ Spells add-on, you will be deactivating any other add-ons you have, and you will be gaining all the benefits of Playful NPCs 1.4).

Contents: The Bucket o’ Spells 1.0 pack contains nine new non-core (but Official D&D) spells, detailed below.

• New Wizard Spells!
• New Sorcerer Spells!
• New Bard Spells!
• New Cleric Spells!
• New Druid Spells!
• New Paladin Spells!
• Nothing for the Ranger - nothing!

Only those areas in which the spell has been implemented are detailed here: so, for instance, the +1 bonus that a Revenated character has against the person who killed him (which can't be implemented) is not mentioned.

There is also a minor bug-fix: the Far Shot feat has been applied to Longbows (left out by mistake).

Note: These are non-core spells so they will NOT be appearing in 5.5.0 or future modpacks, where-in we try to maintain core integrity, but they should be available quite painlessly as additional content.

Installation: Unzip the .rar file to your Atari / Temple of Elemental Evil folder (or other root folder if named differently). Overwrite as necessary. This will add a file to your Addons / Circle of Eight Modpack 5.5.0 Beta folder and a file to your Docs folder. Then run TFE-X and select Add-ons, then install the bucket_o_spells_1.0 add-on.

Upgraded! The Bucket o' Spells pack has been upgraded to 1.1: this involves the adding of the file controling the sounds, which I forgot. 1.1 is available below, as is the missing file that can be individually added to 'ugrade' 1.0 to 1.1 as it were (to save people reactivating the add-on).

Summoning Surge
Transmutation

Components: V, S, DF

Necromancy [Death, Evil]
Level: Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
You shoot a ray of necromantic energy from your outstretched hand, causing any living creature struck by the ray to violently purge blood or other vital fluids through its skin. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to affect the subject. If successful, the subject is reduced to half of its current hit points (rounded down) and stunned for 1 round. On a successful Fortitude saving throw, the subject is not stunned.

Range: 15 ft.
Effect: All creatures in a 15-ft. radius
Duration: 1 round/level

With this spell, you can trigger the insightful and baleful magic of a mandrake root. When you pull it from its dark container, you and all other creatures within 15 feet must make a Will save against its scream. Those who succeed gain a true seeing effect; those who fail behave as though affected by confusion. Both effects last until the spell ends.
Material Component: A mandrake root worth at least 100 gp in a secure container with the same value.

Power Sight (Masters of the Wild)
Divination
Level:. Drd 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target or Area: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You determine the number of Hit Dice (including those from class levels) a creature currently has. if the creature has both monster Hit Dice and class levels, power sight reveals only the total. You cannot determine what class levels a creature has, and negative levels do not count against its HD. For example, both a 10-HD creature and a 10th-level character with 4 negative levels appear as 10-HD creatures.

Revenance (Complete Divine)
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Brd 6, Clr 4, Pal 4
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Dead ally touched
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: None; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You touch a recently slain ally and temporarily restore her to life so she may continue to fight. She functions as if a raise dead spell had been cast upon her, except that she does not lose a level and has half of her full normal hit points. She is alive (not undead) for the duration of the spell and can be healed normally, but dies as soon as the combat ends. While the subject is under this spell, she is not affected by resurrection or raise dead.

Baleful Transposition (Spell Compendium)
Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 2, Travel 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Targets: Two creatures of up to Large size
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Two target creatures, only one of whom may be hostile, and of which you can be one, instantly swap positions. A solid object such as the ground, a bridge, or a rope must connect the creatures. Both subjects must be within range. Objects carried by the creatures (up to the creatures’ maximum loads) go with them, but other creatures do not, even if they are carried. The movement is instantaneous and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If a hostile creature succeeds on its Will save, the spell is negated.

Both this spell and the following were added to the Travel domain, since they are clear variants on other Travel Domain spells such as Dimension Door and Teleport.

Benign Transposition (Spell Compendium)
Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1, Travel 1
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action

When you cast this spell, you unleash a ray of negative energy that consumes the life energy of the subject. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to strike a target.

The subject takes a –4 penalty to Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity for the duration of the spell.

Feel free to comment or discuss (or post bugs). And could the first person to download/install/activate/use it please let me know here that it works.

 

Re: New Add-on Pack: Bucket o' Spells 1.0

Ummm, quite possibly, yes. Didn't realise it was different :scratchhe but the spells should still work Thanks for the feedback

 

Re: New Add-on Pack: Bucket o' Spells 1.0

Since the arrival of TFE-X, the ToEE series of modules has been set up that way (each with its own docs folder) to avoid confusion and so you don't have to sift through a bunch of different files in one folder to find the one you're looking for. (e.g., "I was reading the KotB readme and it says there's a provisioner, but I can't find him in Hommlet!") Plus, it didn't seem right not to isolate 'Orion's Ultimate Fixes,' ha.

 

Version 1.1 is out!

I forgot to include the file that controls the sounds, so there is a new add-on (1.1) available in the first post: or, if you have already installed the 1.0 version and don't want to have to add a new add-on with the slow activation that entails, you can download the other file now available above and, as it suggests, unzip it to the data folder: that will replace the snd_spells.mes file in the data/sounds folder.

 

:blink: I can assure you, Jason Bourne does not appear in any Co8 mod...

 

Well, I changed her script so she says something when being Raised, but I didn't change her actual .dlg file: but I'll check it Groo.

And I haven't fiddled with Jayfie's file since I don't know what is meant to be done with it. But since no-one has announced "putting the original Jayfie file in will break 6 other things!!!" I'd say that gives WizGeorge's efforts what we used to call in the service, "tacit consent".
