Hi! How's going?
I'm Japanese player playing this game.Once a day, some character (cleric, lv5) told me(as GM) that he wanted to "create" new spell. This spell functions like this.
(1) functions like Bull's strength, however, chaster can select any stat when casting this spell.
(2) Expanding weapon's critical rang
(3) make 1 creature exhausted condition ( 25ft + 5ft/lv , caster level / round) with sucsesfull app. save.
(4) make "Heal Minor (up tp 50HP)" spell in this game!!!I think that these proposals may currupt our game balance.
However, it is impolite to turn down his option immediately.What should I do?
Thaks a lot!
Turn down his suggestions politely and possibly suggest alternatives that would be suitable in your best judgement.
1) Careful with this one, clerics usually can not affect dexterity or intelligence since they can not cast cat's grace or fox's cunning. When excluding those I'd guess it would be alright from a perspective of power balance, though well.. it seems a bit cheesy, more suitable for wizards for it's diversity, but not a big deal on that. 3rd with alteration mentioned.
2) Keen Edge does that, but it is not a spell on the cleric's list and does not function for all weapons, just adding keen edge to a cleric's list would make it 4th lvl in my opinion, being able to cast it on multiple weapon types would rank it a bit higher, I'd default to 4th level with a shorter duration than keen edge, 1 min/lvl but for any weapon type.
3) the wizard spell that works similarly is 3rd level with a ranged touch, changing it to save puts it on equal terms but since it is not a cleric spell usually I'd make it 4th lvl.
4) well a bit more than an empowered cure serious at level 10 which is about 35 hp and it can not be spontaneously cast, I'd say 4hp/lvl up to 60 at lvl 15 for a 5th lvl spell, or 3 hp per lvl to a max of 60hp at lvl 20 with a lesser restoration effect. 5th lvl spell either way.
In the case he meant to combine this all in one spell I'd just reject it most likely or suggest some pretty hefty changes.
