Complete Dragon and Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Spells - Introduction

WHO AM I? INTRODUCTION Plain and simple: nobody. I’m not a graphic artist. I do not design layouts for magazines or newsletters of any sort. INTRODUCTION TO V3.0 While I would love to say who I am, I’d rather not be hassled The inclusion of DUNGEON MAGAZINE in this compilation for creating this compilation for the gaming community. I yielded only 10 new spells none of which had images often go by the name of EldritchHorror or some variation associated with them. All of them were Sor/Wiz spells with and sometimes can be found as Strider. the exception of the two Epic level spells. Most of the spells Look for my other compilations: Arms and Equipment, found in DUNGEON MAGAZINE already come from another Feats, Flaws, and Fighting Styles, and Magic Items. source. There are no new Spellbooks and no new Domains. Adding these spells doesn’t significantly change much at all but is done more for uniformity between the compilations.

INTRODUCTION Collected here is a listing of all the spells found in DRAGON MAGAZINE issues 309-362. Most of the spells in the earlier issues have found their way into the SPELL COMPENDIUM. Other spells appear in various printed books. These spells have not been reproduced here. Even though there may be slight differences between the spells in the magazine and the spells in the books, it is my belief that newer issues and newer printed material supersedes anything that came before it. There is one exception to this reprinting rule. Greater Bestow Curse appears both in COMPLETE DIVINE and RACES OF DESTINY. The Greater Bestow Curse that is found here is reprinted from these two books (which are identical with the exception of the Divine 7 level which is added to the RACES OF DESTINY version) solely for the purpose of including the variants to this spell which do not appear in either book. Entries found here have been entered using OCR and proofread. Some issues come from really bad scans in which case entries have been manually transcribed. Readers of my other compilations may notice a slight difference in chapter/appendix styles. This was done to mimic the layout of the SPELL COMPENDIUM.

DESCRIPTIONS There has been no change or standardization to the way spells have been listed in the 3.5 world and therefore, unlike other compilations, have not had to undergo changes. The entries are word for word from the magazine with a few exceptions: The Dragon Magazine # is included in the stat block which lists from which issue and article the spell originally appeared in. In a few rare cases, the spells had a lot of back-story to their origins. This information was pulled out and placed at the end of the description under the heading Lore.

IMAGES Although there weren’t as many images accompanying the spells as I would have liked, I took what was available and tried to place them near the corresponding spell description. These images all come from Dragon Magazines and have only been altered to clean them up for use in this compilation.

VERSIONS 1.0: The initial release. 2.0: Added missing information. 3.0: Added spells from DUNGEON MAGAZINE.

VARIANT GREATER BESTOW CURSE EFFECTS • The target loses a class ability, such as spellcasting, sneak attack damage, or barbarian rage. If this class ability is a prerequisite for other abilities or feats, the target loses the use of those feats as well. • The target gains a susceptibility to a one energy type (such as fire or electricity) or to weapons made of a specified rare or unusual material (such as adamantine or silver) of the caster's choice. The target takes an additional +5o% extra damage from this source. This effect does not stack with any other weaknesses the target might already possess. • The target's alignment gradually moves toward another of the caster's choice. For example, a lawful good paladin might be cursed to become chaotic evil, losing access to all of his paladin spells and abilities. There is no immediate effect, but the target must make a Will save each day thereafter or his alignment shifts one step toward the chosen alignment. • The target takes damage equal to the damage he deals to others. Only damage dealt with weapons is affected, not ability damage or spell effects. • One of the target's attack options is lost (such as a dragon's breath weapon or a medusa's petrifying gaze attack). • The target can no longer sleep soundly, perhaps wracked by nightmares or guilt over past evil deeds (caster's choice). He wakes fatigued each morning and cannot perform tasks that require him to be well-rested, such as a wizard preparing spells. • The target's most powerful or cherished possession (DM's discretion) is drawn by fate to fall into the hands of a hated enemy or rival. • The target is completely unable to use any three skills of the caster's choosing. Knowledge skills must be chosen separately. • Everyone the target sees appears to be undead, their flesh rotting from their bones and their voices reduced to hollow rasps. • All critical threats made against the target automatically confirm without requiring the attacker to reroll. • A noisy spirit haunts the target. Aside from unnerving those around the target, the spirit prevents him from using the Hide or Move Silently abilities, becoming invisible, disguising himself; or otherwise altering his appearance. A manifestation of the curse, the spirit is not actually undead and cannot be turned, rebuked, or destroyed. • All new creatures and NPCs the target encounters treat him with an initial attitude of hostile. Allies and current acquaintances do not change their attitudes toward the target.

In truth, however, none really know the origins of the tome. One legend of the Livre d'Aquatha traces its creation back to the captain's quarters of the notorious pirate-mage Eves "Squideye" Riddlebone, although his name appears nowhere within the tome's text. Another rumor claims that the spells within are holy teachings scribed by a priestess of Persana– the god of tritons–written upon the empty pages of her lost lover's journal. Alternatively, a variation of that tale claims that the spells within are in fact creations of the foul deity Panzuriel (see page 63 of Dragon Magazine #334) and that his cult, and their many-armed masters, seek it out to this day. Given the transient nature of most sea-going owners, the Livre d'Aquatha might appear in the possession of any ship's captain or high-ranking mate worthy of such a tome.

Bound in black leather, upon its surface the Twilight Codex bears the image of a silver crescent moon. Within, page after page of notes detail hundreds of constellations, along with the arcane significance of each. Since its creator's death, the tome has resurfaced numerous times, often in the hands of some mysterious lycanthrope spellcaster. Those who have pursued the book hoping to reveal the secrets of the stars have found the tome elusive–as insubstantial as moonlight.
