Is Moroz finally getting a costume upgrade (or downgrade)? Find out next time in BTB!
Spell-‘Costume Swap’Lv3 Wiz/Sorc Lv4 Bard. Range-30ft+5 ft per level.
Transmutation. Will save.
This spell can be cast on a set of clothing and a target creature, causing the target creature’s current attire to swap places with the new set of clothing. The spell was originally designed to allow resting characters to don their armour instantly (for those camp site ambushes that catch the adventurers with their pants down).
An unwilling target is allowed a will save to avoid having their costume swapped with one chosen by the caster. The spell will not effect magical jewelry such as rings, medallions and circlets but will effect magical clothing such as armour and vests. If magical gear is targeted by the spell then an unwilling target may add the items effective bonus to their saving throw as an enhancement bonus.
Alternatively two targets can be chosen (rather than one target and a set of clothing). Any targets included in this situation will get will saves if they wish to resist. If both saves are passed then no effect occurs. If only one save is passed then the creature that failed it’s save will be stripped of their current attire-which will appear anywhere within the spells range (designated by the caster) whilst the other creature that passed it’s save will be un-affected. If both saves fail (or if only one character resists and that save fails) then the costumes will be swapped.
Costumes swapped between creatures will be magically adapted by the spell to fit perfectly-but this effect will only last until the items are removed-at which point they will return to their original form.

Please vote every day if you can and thanks for reading! 😀
hence my evil laugh. 😀
but seriously, Moroz really should show off her hot bod its not good for her…
But showing off your hot bod conflicts with the “cold as ice” theme. Won’t someone think of the theming :V
What if you have a spell failure while casting “Clothing Swap”?
the clothes probably get smaller/ get destroyed?
Well, technically nothing would happen (as spell failure just results in the spell not working and being lost) but I think any DM with a sufficiently twisted imagination (ie-most DMs) could come up with something more amusing 😉
Why do they all say “(im-)practicle” instead of “(im-)practical”? Am I missing a joke here?
Furthermore, as a non-native speaker, I wonder if I got something wrong whenever I see someone write “effect” where I expected to see “affect” instead, like you can see twice in the spell’s description (happens quite a lot on the internet).
Poor Moroz. I totally saw that joke coming, but the reasoning is surprisingly sound. 😀 And here I thought the teacher was wise and sensible, but right after she mentioned that Moroz’s uniform didn’t fit her rank, it looks like she ran out of wisdom for the day. Maybe she should rest for 8 hours or something. Or, you know, not, because it’s better this way. 😀
I am starting to believe that goofiness is contagious in BTB. ^^
The impracticles are just me being dyslexic. Need to change that 🙂 Goofiness is very much contagious. Nobody gets to be sensible all the time in this setting 😉
Ah, I see. Goofiness all round is more fun, anyway.
Btw: There are still two more instances of the “affect/effect” typo that require eradicating. 🙂
“The spell will not effect magical jewelry such as rings, medallions and circlets but will effect magical clothing such as armour and vests.”
And I believe one apostrophe has gotten lost in the letter-forest. The one here:
“the creature that failed it’s save will be”
wishes to move here:
“an unwilling target may add the items’ (<–) effective bonusES to their saving"
Sorry for being a grammar Nazi. 😀
Not a problem-I appreciate the help 🙂 I’m not so bothered about the spell and comments being perfect, but I’ll change the actual page errors 🙂
Umm it’s not home brew Moroz. There are rules in place to create your own magic spells. If you had bothered to actually read the Players Handbook that is.
Do people try spamming that spell vs Steam Knights? They are bound to roll a natural 1 eventually if you have enough mid level wizards floating around spamming it, and even though the Knights are pretty super without the armor it would help.
Or rather, would they if that spell was commonly known.
well at level 15 (i think) mechanus knights (the guys steam knights are based off of) can become 1 with their armor sub racing as Golems
so the spell wouldn’t work
Hmm-that could work-although even a naked steam knight is pretty dangerous since they are so strong. Easier to deal with than an armoured knight though.
A lot of opponents could be dealt with by enough level 1 wizards with ‘magic missile’. If you trained up everyone in a small town to be lv1 wizards-(lets say 2000 people) that’d make for a pretty impressive defence force-even against quite powerful enemies. I guess the ‘shield’ spell and spell res could reduce this, but against straight forward opponents like ogres or giants or the like it could be quite effective.
Each volley of magic missiles would do about 6000 points of damage. Most people would be able to memorise 3 lv 1 spells-so they could blast off 18000 points of damage before running out of power. It’d be a pretty good deterrent to an attacking army 😉
or would the spell kill the golem steam knight by literally ripping of its skin
I didn’t base steam knights off that class (never heard of it in fact) 🙂 I’d say if you were one with your armour though that the spell wouldn’t work as then your armour would stop being clothing and become part of your body instead 🙂
