Hi,
Consider the clerical spell Aura of Doom.
Ultimate Magic wrote:
Aura of Doom
School necromancy [emotion, fear, mind-affecting]; Level cleric 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M/DF (powdered bone)
Range personal
Area 20-ft.-radius emanation centered on you
Duration 10 minute/level
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
You emanate an almost palpable aura of horror. All non-allies within this spell's area, or that later enter the area, must make a Will save to avoid becoming shaken. A successful save suppresses the effect. Creatures that leave the area and come back must save again to avoid being affected by the effect.
Is the saving throw mentioned here actually correct?
It says "will negates", but since the range is "personal" shouldn't the saving throw have been omitted? After all, you're casting it at yourself, so why would you want to save? I think it should at least say "(harmless)".
The saving throw mentioned is for enemies surrounding you, and should only have been mentioned in the text, I think.
I wonder why noone has mentioned this before...
