Silly Fun with Prestidigitation
« on: January 01, 2011, 05:32:06 PM »
Funny thing I noticed; some of Prestidigitation's effects affect an area, meaning that when combined with Snowcasting, you can apply Flash Frost to it.

Coat things in a small area with ice! Deal 2 cold damage! Counts as a 1st level spell!

Also, you can throw Arcane Thesis and Metamagic School Focus (Universal) onto the build, for a cantrip that
a. counts a first level spell
b. Allows you to smack someone within 10 ft with a negative level.
c. You can do b. every round for an hour.

You can also apply Sculpt Spell to Prestidigitation, due to parts of Prestidigitation having areas of effect. Think about that for a moment.

Of course, I'm most probably wrong, but what could be the harm of Cleaning/Soiling everything in a 100' line?
Or in a cylinder?

Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

Same issue came up in another topic. The damage doesn't apply every round. Just once.

Iirc, I started that topic. Oh well, I forget sometimes.

But any problems with the rest of it?

You forgot to add Fell Drain.[/nitpick]

Dang!

Still, any problem with that particular use of Sculpt Spell? It certainly makes Prestidigitation much nicer...

Can you take metamagic school focus universal? I thought universal was the bland school that wasn't really a school.
Monks are pretty much the best designed class ever.

Good point. The SRD has it listed as 'Not a school, but a category for spells that all wizards can learn.'

Correct, Universal isn't a valid option for Metamagic School Focus.

Missed that rule.

Eh, Arcane Thesis is better anyway.
