Daily Homebrew Spell Discussion: Apple of the Fairest

Apple of the Fairest, Lesser

School– Enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting], Chaos, Charm Level– 2 Bard, 2 Witch, 2 Cleric/Oracle, 3 Sorcerer/Wizard


CASTING

Casting Time– 1 Standard Action

Components– V,S,F (apple)


EFFECT

Range– 30′ Radius

Target– All creatures within range of the apple.

Duration– 1 round per level.

Saving Throw– Will negates. Spell Resistance– Yes.


DESCRIPTION–

The caster throws a golden-colored apple. When it lands, every creature in a 30’ radius of 5 HD or less must make a Will saving throw. Creatures over 5 HD are immune. Any affected creature has an overwhelming desire to possess the apple. They will stop whatever else they were doing, and try to be the one, and only one, to have the apple. While they will ignore any duties and obligations they might have, they will not violate their basic characters. They will defend themselves from attack or threats to their lives, at a -2 to attacks rolls, AC, and Reflex Saving throws, but as soon as the threat is over, they will still be under the effect of the spell. If a creature fails their Will save by 5 or more, they have a violently overwhelming desire to possess the apple. These creatures will not hesitate to attack anyone who gets between them and the apple. Every creature in range of the spells gets a saving throw at the beginning of the round. A successful Will save means they are not under the effect of the spell for that round. It is possible for a creature to become affected, become unaffected, and become affected again, if they stay within range of the spell.
