Shattered Kingdoms

Speaking of which:

Why do hellions not get slow?

You mean cancellation?

As it were: I think silence would be pretty good for necromancers and sorcerors. That way necromancers don't get destroyed by one paladin.

c silence ardith

Seriously though, nice original idea.....................................

There already is a song like this in the game, play a bard. Bards suck solo enough as it is with out giving any spell caster/scroll recite way to completely shut them down. Spell sleep > silence anyway. On that note why Do you need another way to shut down a spell caster. This spell goes against what sorcerors are, powerful spell casters that often have to forgo the loot of their target for the kill.

Malediction = Necro/shaman/hellion.

Cured by cancellation, similar to chill touch effect, or feeblemind.

Similar to feeblemind, but more focused, Oath Of Silence™ is purely a mind altering effect, this does not physically render the victim to be unable to speak, it's purely mentally induced (read: will save). This also renders the individual incapable of telepathic speech, as the speech processing centers of the brain are clouded.

Orders to pets/followers are impossible, as are any arcane or divine invocations that require verbal components.

The invocation is targetted to an individual, and a strong concentration is required to continue to fog the individuals mind. (Same concentration requirement as charm person)

ill take slow, feeblemind, silence, and anything else you wanna give to a hellion.

It could work, but not for sorcs - as Forsooth said, they already have more than enough to fiddle with, and we have more than enough people playing them.

Necromancer is a good idea, and I wouldn't object to hellions having it either - it seems to fit their nature. As for slow, it fits theme-wise for hellions too in my mind, but I'm not sure if both wouldn't make them a tad too strong.

I still think its fine as a cabal spell...if you make it into a class ability someone has to go and come up with a new spell for said cabal.

I wouldn't give hellions slow. That's madly overpowering.

Actually, I disagree. Call armor is madly overpowering.

Hellions should have slow. They have lower art than a shaman or a necromancer, so it is actually not likely they'd work any better than weaken, curse, plague, or poison do (which, by the way, is what the other classes get).

Edit: this is tongue in cheek.
