Alt' al 's Blind and Gag was submitted by Icemephit on 5/17/98. (Alteration) Range: 60' Components: V, S, M Duration: Permanent Casting time: 3 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special Blind and gag causes the unfortunate victim to become mute and lose its breath weapon and\or become blind and lose gaze attacks. The spell has three separate effects depending on the target and wishes of the caster. The effects are Blind, Gag, Blind and Gag. Blind -can only be used on creatures with a gaze attack, gaze-like spells, or the owner of an item that grants its user a gaze attack ( DM's may exclude gaze attacks that are imbibed to the user of an artifact). The caster can attack as many Hit Dice of monsters as he has levels. For example, a 12th level wizard could blind 12 1HD creatures, 6 2HD creatures, and so on, and any left over HD are lost. A successful saving throw vs.. Petrification will negate this spell. Gag -can only be used on creatures with breath weapons. The creature loses it breath weapon and become mute(note: this also cancels out spell casting abilities of spells that require verbal components......). If a creature has more than one type of breath weapon, one randomly chosen breath weapon is lost, but the victim is still mute. The caster affects as many HD of creatures as he has levels. A successful save vs.. Breath Weapon negates the spell. Dragons gain a +2 bonus to their save. Blind and Gag - can only be used in the rare instance where a creature has a gaze attack and a breath weapon. The caster effects 1HD for every 2 levels. For example, a 10th level wizard could only effect creatures of 5HD or less. The creature is blinded and mute and loses it gaze attack and one of its breath weapons. A successful save vs.. Spells will negate the spell. The creatures affected by blindness will receive a -4 to all attack rolls and a -2 to their AC until the spell wears off or dispelled. In addition, any creature that loses its gaze attack or breath weapon loses 2 points on their morale rolls. Any creature that loses both its gaze and breath weapon or loses more than one breath weapon loses 3 points on their morale. This spell can only be dispelled by the caster, a wish spell, or the intervention of a powerful deity. The material components of this spell are: blind- a small glass mirror and a 1,000 GP diamond gag- a silk cloth and the skull of a skunk blind and gag- a petrified medusa eye and blood from a giant leech.
