Wildmage - surge-lite GSF: spells

Post by BobTheSkull » Fri Oct 30, 2020 9:42 pm

Premise: Allow a modified "lite" version of available surges to occur when a wild mage casts spells from the infinite GSF gained pool.

Reason: Wild mages are defined by the unpredictable wild surges that occur when casting. Currently GSF can not trigger wild surges. This is good as there are crazy strong benefits that would be too strong for infinite spells. This is bad in that it does reduce a little bit of good natured humor and levity that this delightful little class brings to the server!

Suggestion: Provide a limited list of surge options or "surge-lite" list to apply to spells cast by wild mages from the GSF lists. I have noted the spells in questions and notated their surge numbers in "italics- bad for caster", "normal- neutral or humor", and "bold- good for caster". In total there are 14 bad outcomes, 9 good outcomes, and 13 neutral outcomes. The selection for the surge-lite list was considered for their power level and impact. Nothing that is likely to kill a level 3 wild mage or his party members (no fireballs) and nothing that is likely to trivialize an encounter or make the mage too strong.

Surge List:
1 Caster is struck with drunkenness.
6 Enlarge Person on Caster.
8 A loud noise screams in the Caster's ears.
11 Target is Hasted.
15 Caster slips and falls.
19 Mass Elemental Shield on Target.
20 Caster summons a rock. It's a nice rock.
21 Caster summons a stupid amount of heavy rocks on Target.
22 Target is sparkling.
24 Caster is Deafened. No save.
25 Caster is teleported to target location.
27 Caster is struck with hunger!
28 Caster is struck with thirst!
31 Caster summons forth a herd of while rothes!

33 Target becomes invisible.
34 Caster sparkles. A lot!

36 Butterflies. Butterflies everywhere. Ah!

40 Slow spell on Caster.
45 Caster is silenced - mostly - for a random duration.
46 Caster temporarily forgets how to cast spells!
47 Caster starts to laugh. Laugh a lot.
