I have an idea to create the Transmute Rock to Mud Spell (5th lv Cleric/Wiz Spell) as a useful spell for NWN (And its reverse: “Transmute Mud to Rock”
The spell “Transmute Rock to Mud Spell” could do the following:
1) Reduce a Earth Elemental (as target) to 50% of its Hit Points
2) If cast on a Stone Door or Stone Wall, or Rock/Boulder (with a specific tag or a script event on placeable??) it transforms those into a puddle of Mud on ground in place of what one of those mentioned targets are (creates a placeable of mud with 5 hit points where one could bash it easily to bypass it) OR it can create a mud pudding creature of low hit points (give me feedback which you think would be better).
3) If cast on the floor it creates a Mud Placeable that if stepped on would hold fast (paralyze) any PC or creature that walk on the floor mud placeable and that creature(s) take suffocating damage (to simulate sinking into mud).
Think of a boulder(s) blocking an entry…rather than bash a boulder with 300 hp with damage reduction of 10…it makes that boulder a placeable of mud with 5 hp.
A Dispel Magic can destroy the Placeable Mud too or the reverse of the spell.
The reverse of the spell: “Transmute Mud to Rock Spell” could do the following:
1) Reverse the spell above (destroys the placeable mud) and dispel its effects
2) It heals Earth Elementals 50% of its hitpoints
Cantrip Ideas:
Create Mud: Creates a Mud floor Placeable slows those who step on it or to be used for the Mud to Rock Spell version to counter effect.
Create Stone: Creates a boulder placeable (to act as a barrier) although not as effective as a stone wall. One would have to create several side by side to make an effective wall.
What do you al think?
Which in turn can be useful for above spells or to counter also.
