Grease spell ideas


Advice


I’m taking the Grease spell next level, and would appreciate some out of the box ideas on what I can do with it. Thanks!


Getting your buddy out of an nigh impossible grapple.

Oiling up a contestant for a wrestling match.

Preparing a skillet to fry eggs.

Fun trap: a length of string or twine attached to two pitons across a doorway, with grease in front of the doorway just in case the first part doesn't trip him.

Grease the side of a hole to make it harder for something to climb out.

Hair conditioner.

Coat something that reacts poorly to water, like whatever the Golarion equivalent of alkali metals are. (not sure if this would actually work, but in theory...)

Make your own slip-n-slide, for fun parties and fast getaways!

If your plan involves tying up an ally, and you don't have breakaway chains, you might want to grease them beforehand.

Help keep your armor from rusting in the rain!

grease + barbarian + frozen lake = hilarity. Rather they are your ally or not.

Greasing the arrows of a archer can be amusing.

Not sure if it is completely within the rules but I greased a dragon and he set himself on fire with his breathweapon...

i also want to reserch a greater grease spell.
like a 3rd or 4th lv. spell
A slick, greasy liquid seeps from the targeted object, thoroughly coating it.
This spell functions like grease, but with an area of 20-ft.-radius spread, or coats 1 object /per 3 caster lv. to a max of 6 objects at 18th lv.
The liquid is also highly flammable.
If any fire damage is dealt within the area of the spell (or to the subject of the spell), the spell's area (or subject) bursts into flame.
This effect deals 1d6 points of fire damage/per lv. (max of 10d6) to anyone in the area (or holding the subject), but also ends the spell's duration.
A successful Reflex save halves this damage.

with a higher dc to pass on reflex saves and the dc for staying upright, and the bonus to escape artist rolls, should be increased to 15


I don't make my own spells, honestly, I try not to play casters much at all. So, this is just my opinion, but if you increase the area of the spell, plus damage, shouldn't that be more along the lines of a 5th to 6th level spell?

Not to sound like a rule lawyer here, but from what I remember, they say to use the current spells as guidelines, right? Fireball is a 3rd level spell, so is the damage in this "improved spell." Plus an increase in AoE with an increase of x/level. So, in my opinion, wouldn't that make your improved grease spell more along the lines of a 5th level spell? Instead of 3rd or 4th?

Hope you don't think I'm slamming the idea. That is not my intention. Just trying to help on the level of power for the spell. :) Like the idea!

grease is a first lv spell and fireball is 20-ft.-radius spread with 1d6 points of fire damage/per lv. (max of 10d6)

basicly it does the same damage as fireball with added effects thus im thinking 4th lv more then 3rd


Well with the new mythic tier rules, they've made a mythic version of grease. It can finally be flammable!

Grease the hinges on a door so it opens quietly, or the axles on a cart.

Toss the spell over someone's meal, or their food/water supply.

Since a regular grease spell can't be used to fuel a fire, use it to put out a fire.

Grease can basically make any siege engine useless, so a reach grease = b+~*+ in large scale warfare so long as duration is accounted for. Great for ship to ship combat.


Greater Grease
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target or Area: One item/ 3 caster levels, or a 20-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

A Greater Grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 15 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on One item/ 3 caster levels (max of 6 items at 18th lv.). Items must be within the spell range and no two items can be more than 30 ft. apart. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +15 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.

Material Component : A bit of pork rind or butter.
