 Insanity Blessing

Associated Blessing: Madness

Replacement Blessing: The following minor blessing replaces the madness supremacy ability of the Madness blessing.

Insanity Ward (Minor): At 1st level, you can touch an ally and grant it an Insanity ward. For 1 minute, every creature trying to attack the warded ally is subject to a lesser confusion spell.

Mythic Fun Spells

Here are some spells from different sources that we’re not made mythic yet and have something in common: they are fun.

Mythic Deft Digits

You can see, hear, and talk through the glove (by moving it as a “talking puppet sock”). Disable Device and Sleight of Hand checks made through the glove don’t suffer penalties. The glove can wield weapons and attack, though you can’t talk through it while it is wielding items. A magical glove’s magic is not suppressed for the duration of the spell, though the glove cannot confer benefits to you or other creatures while it is not worn.

Mythic Depilate

The lost hair doesn’t begin to regrow until 1 week + 1 for every 2 tiers of the caster (minimum 2 week’s) and can’t be concealed with nonmagical means.

Augmented (3rd): If the caster expends one use of mythic power, the hair or fur is permanently lost. The spell’s effects can only be removed by mythic magic.

Mythic Gullibility

The spell can affect a number of creatures equal to ½ the caster’s mythic tier (minimum 1), no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart. The spell’s caster automatically succeeds at all Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks against a target of the spell.

Augmented (3rd): By expending one use of mythic power, the spell’s duration is extended to 1 hour/level.

Mythic Mischievous Shadow

The shadow can interfere with its host’s actions once every minute. When it does so, the DC of the Perception skill check to notice it decreases to 15, and the haunt’s hit points increase to 3 hp/level.

Mythic Pernicious Pranksters

You add your mythic tier to the whimsical forces’ bonus on combat maneuver checks. You also automatically succeed at Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate checks to determine the forces’ course of action in a round.

Augmented (3rd): By expending one use of mythic power, the spell affects a number of creatures equal to your mythic tier, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart.

Mythic Untold Wonder

Penalties that the target would take as a result of an emotion effect are instead treated as morale bonuses equal to the full penalty’s value. Morale bonuses the target gains from other sources are increased by 2. Finally, the bonus granted by the spell on saving throws to resist spells of the pattern subschool increases to +4.

Augmented (6th): By expending one use of mythic power, the target is immune to spells of the pattern subschool for the spell’s duration.

New Communication Sphere Talent

Flustering Joke (utility)

When you influence the attitude of a creature, you can make a joke about your target  to incite hostility towards you. For the next minute, a flustered target takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls made against creatures other than you and has a 10% spell failure chance on all spells that do not target you or that have you within their area of effect. Associated Feat: Antagonize.

New Performance Sphere Talent: Stand-Up Comedy

There are too few talents for actual comedians in Spheres of Guile. Let’t try to make more.

This post already appeared for patrons only on my Patreon page. If you wish to see stuff in advance and have access to other rewards, please consider donating!

Stand-Up Comedy (Act)

Rather than a proper act, you perform an enfilading fire of jokes to bolster your allies’ morale and make your enemies feel ridiculized. You can only select this talent if your associated skill for the Performance sphere’s (act) package is Perform (comedy).

Tirade (approach): All allies in the area gain a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects. This bonus increases by +1 for every 5 ranks in Perform (comedy) you possess.

Ad Personam (scene, standard action): Whenever an enemy within the area attempts an attack against an ally and misses, that enemy gains the confused condition until its next successful attack.

Catchphrase (scene, move action): All allies in the area can use the highest attack and damage roll among all of them against confused enemies.

Punchline (finale, standard action): All enemies in the area must succeed at a Will saving throw. Confused enemies who fail become dumbfounded for a number of rounds equal to your operative ability modifier (minimum 1); on a successful save, they are instead shocked for the duration. A dumbfounded or shocked creature can make a Will save to reduce the condition as a standard action.

Enemies who were not confused and fail at their saving throw are uncertain for the same duration; on a successful save, they instead suffer no bad effects.
