Incarnate Spells, what kind of creatures you want?


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


With the Secrets of Magic being closer and closer our hype us over the rooftop, so let us talk a little about the incarnate spells that will be coming in that book.

In the playtest of Magus and Summoner aftermath they introduced us to this spell

Spoiler:
Quote:

Summon Vengeful Dead — Spell 7

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is frightened 2.
Failure The creature is frightened 3.
Critical Failure The creature is frightened 3. It’s also fleeing for 1 round or until it is no longer frightened, whichever comes first.
regards,

In the paizocon and interviews on it was mentioned that this spell is still there and all of spells of that type work the same way, reach there do something and next turn do another thing and go away, think of Final Fantasy or Golden Sun for them.

Other incarnate spells mentioned was a horde of dragons, a lvl 10 kaiju one and another that you summon a powerful mage (Ramuh is that you?).

As it's normal spells, any caster can pick them.

So what kind of creatures you want? Enough Dragons to match every single FF bahamut? A Fortress with guns? A lady that summon a diamond dust?

Eldritch Tentacle monster reaching out from the void to swat a few pesky mortal things before returning home.

Unfortunately there are only 5 in the book and one is 10th level. 1 is 7th, 2 are 8th and 1 is 9th.


Incarnation spells reminds me of golden axe specials.

I'd like to see a dragon head breathing fire, and then leaving with a draconic battlecry.


I'd like to see 10th level ones for each tradition and then some smaller ones as low as 3rd level. I'd especially like some modal ones that give different options, like summoning different fiends that use special abilities.

An invasion of Oozes seeping through the ground, inflicting their effects and then going back to their subterranean domains.

A flock of so many birds descending from the sky to strike with unbridled fury and leaving just as fast as they appeared.


Interestingly, it looks like there are some spells in the book that kind of work like incarnate spells, but aren't incarnate spells. There's one that summons up a big mishmash of elementals, with the caster choosing which two elements have effects out of the four total, and there's one to attack someone with tons of lil tiny animals and bury them in field mice.

They don't have the incarnate trait though.

What do you call multiple oozes?

A puddle. ;)


Elementals.

Aberrants.

All the usual creatures to fit with the various themes.

I'd love a 10th-level occult spell that calls up a bit of a Great Old One or Outer God.

One that calls the weapon of a deity would be awesome IMO.


The current list is Kaiju, Archmage, Dragons, Undead, and... Deific Avatar?

Summon Archfiend and Summon Solar are options. Summon Archfey would fit.

The most interesting possibility, though? Summon Reaper.

Sword of Damocles?
