The various "Hand" spells


Combat & Magic

Dark Archive

I realize that the "Hand" spells from the 3.5PHB are grouped together because of a proper name. However, this name falls under IP and therefore cannot be used. I cannot stress how convenient it is for players find the particular spell they are looking for when it is grouped with spells of a similar nature(e.g. summon monster I-IX, or planar ally(lesser-greater). I find it somewhat disconcerting that the various "Hand" spells are not grouped this way. I therefore suggest the following format:

Hand of Force I (Interposing)
Hand of Force II (Forceful)
Hand of Force III (Grasping)
Hand of force IV (Clenched Fist)
Hand of force V (Crushing)

I also put forth for your approval, that any higher level of these spells can perform the same maneuvers that any lower level spell can. I know that they pretty much already do, but it allows for more versatility and uniformity. So at HoF I it interposes only and at HoF IV it interposes, bull rushes, grapples(no damage), and strikes.

How does this sound?

Excellent.

For rules, I like doing things this way as much as possible, and coming up with bombastic and suitable names for individual campaigns and settings.
