Shamefully Overdressed usefulness


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I'm playing a bard with spell focus on enchantment spells, about to get greater spell focus as well.

How useful is Shamefully Overdressed really? Because it would fit thematically, but I wouldn't want to get an extremely situational or straight out bad spell.

Does your game have a lot of characters with clothing or gear that provide benefits? If so, it's a useful alternative to other action constraint spells due to the fact that the enemy is also debuffing itself. Compared to oppressive boredom (one of my sorceress's favorites due to not having that +4 bonus that hideous laughter does), there's no additional saves to end the effect and they debuff themselves, but they do get a standard action each turn. Plus social embarrassment factor too.


This would work excellently in combination with a spell like slow, piercing shriek, or reckless infatuation to make your enemies staggered; now taking a move action to strip uses up their entire turn.


Also remember that it can't remove any item that can't be removed in a move action so a gm might rule against clothes like the corset of dire witchcraft so you might want to talk to your gm about these situations before they can come up


Thank you for the replies! I will put this into consideration when picking spells.
