Possession of a person


Advice


Hello!

I am in need of some mind control advice! I want an enemy to be able to take over a NPC's body and talk through it like the NPC is his puppet. Very similar to Marik Isthar and his Rare hunter goons from Yu-Gi-Oh!

I know of spells like marionette but you need to be within 100 feet of the target and I would it to have some more range. Before making my own version of the spell, I wanted to see if anyone had something similar to this and is willing to provide me with it :)

Thanks for the help!


Possession only limits distance when casting. Heads up, though, leaving a body defenseless is a huge liability. Additional castings would allow for hopping to a new body and resetting the duration.

There's a more passive Riding Possession spell that doesn't grant control, but allows casting enchantments on the subject.

But Riding posession with dominate person does give that effect I assume? :)


House rule that magic jar can work through scrying.


I think that you can re-cast possession on your current puppet. So all you need for eternal body-snatching is a rod of Extend Spell and being a level 13 wizard.


Well of course house ruling would be easy but I am known among my players to stick to the rules mostly while still giving them options. I think it is only fair that I do not just randomly house rule something and follow rules as much as possible. They appreciate this a lot because it is only fair.

Magenta, you do have a interesting point. I'll look into this


Dominate Person.

Scry the dominated Person, use the established telepathic link and have them repeat your words.
