Yes there is, corrected my post above.

Ring of Cantrips (Magic Ring)

Similar rings are known to exist, and are usually made of brass engraved with symbols inside and out.
While wearing one, a wizard or bard can cast any cantrip magic, as described in the spell description.
The wizard may create 1d4+4 effects per day, and each effect lasts as long as the wizard concentrates.

IMO if one gets on average 3 to 4 autohitting missiles as a Level 1 magic user then it's definitely overpowered.
Its effect on mirror image is a good benchmark.

Have to disagree It is a range of thistles 1d4+1's range is 2-5, and each one does 1 point of damage.

Could it be in fact that the opposite is true, the OP spell is Mirror Image?


Shield is OP because of it's effect on missiles!


However a new third level spell, "shield of mirror images"
combining shield with mirror image!

The MT spell has same damage as MM and much greater potential for taking down MI and and concentration-based spells or interation-limited spells (mainly illusion). This is a conversation channel and I was expressing an opinion. You're similarly entitled to your opinion but challenging MI feels like a deflection. Anyway, I'm not the GM and will now go mute on this topic.

Thank you.  Yes we are only talking about things and offering differing opinions, I realize text lacks tone so that might make me sound more snarky than usual.

I also have to thank you for the idea for a new spell combining  shield with mirror image, that seems like a cool idea for a new spell.

If you are combining spells, you'd have to increase the level of the higher spell or increase the limits.  Mirror Image is not over powered for it's level IMO, as any hit takes down an image, you get 3 darts per round even at first level, that would decimate a Mirror Image cast at at 4th level, in 2 rounds if you hit.  Magic Missile cast at 5th gives you 3 missiles.  If the Thistles hit as a cluster, as a GM I'd say go for it (we could ignore the meta-magics that allow spell changes like colour and style).  If the Thistles could be directed at multiple people, yes they wouldn't do much damage but they'd eliminate low level enemies like a machine gun, in which case, I'd increase it's level.  You'd call it "The Carpet Sweeper" lol

I love the idea of the spell.

Oh yes I know increasing the spell level is a critical component...
I did a custom druid spell for urban use, wood flooring and ship decks that combined Entangle with warp wood, making an area of effect for warp wood, and just constant opening and closing of holes, and if you fail the save, your foot slides between the moving boards, and  the wood unwarps around your ankle(s).....locking the target in place.  It was a spell that saw little use, except for the mid levels we spent as freebooters....which I think it was either a 4th level or 5th level spell.....

This is a great use of a spell.

I love spell research...slight variations and combinations,

I also love combining arcane and druidic magic into spell combinations, like first cast this spell and then cast that spell, usually based on positioning......

One of my favorites.....say you are facing a dozen quicklings.......
Position self in center of thick plant based life, taunt (arcane spell); let them get close and then hit them with the entangle and pick them off with archers...also a good way to single encounter level......96 movement rate doesn't mean much in an entangled area...

Summon insects + animal growth.
Phantasmal Force + Audible Glamour
Minor Creation + Magic Weapon/Enchant item

Spectral Hand, Any 3rd => touch spell

I always liked to combine audible glamour with wall of fog....(otherwise my DM was but have you ever seen a troll?)


Let the imaginations of the enemy run wild as to what is lurking in the fog bank...scarier if you don't see anything other than the patterns your brain wants to see....


Yes big bugs is a fun combo....

Sorry for my absence as my wife decided to visit the ER this weekend complaining about chest pains so ya, at Er all weekend now running to doctors but once I get a chance I'll post.  Please keep up the chatter I'll read when I can.

All get 50 exp for your patiances.

Take good care of her, she comes first! Hope she gets well soon, and thanks for the free xp!

Hope you guys get back home safe and sound with no health issues.

RL and You wife  cones first... we'll be here when you are less stressed. I been there .

In reply to GM (msg # 531):

Hey, hope your wife gets well soon.  Chest pains can be so damned scary.

Take your time, no rush here.

I echo everything the others have said.

Being patient for a patient comes as second nature. Rake care of your wife. My visit to A&E yesterday after a fall at work and the pain, doesn't compare to the dread of a Heart Attack, envisaged or real. Just take care of you too.

*Ditto*

Know how scary it can be firsthand.

Also, hello all, going to be part of the new crew and glad to be here.

Glad to see you. Hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Are you a minotaur?

No description but picture implies so. Interesting. I'm playing one in another game from Humanoids Handbook.

I'm an Ogre Magi.

I'm sure I will Beverly.

And yes, yes Vincent is.  Not a whole lot of options for images to use though.

As it notes in the extremely short bio line Vincent was cursed by a deity and transformed into one for not realizing what he was trying to steal was the deities current favorite toy.  So no easy remove curse to go back to 'normal'.  A proper Atonement from one of their Priest's after actually atoning for it or a Wish are Vincent's only long term hopes to going back to himself.

Hey... do you, by any chance, know a Mort the Minotaur?

I tried to learn how to do poses like he does but just can't pull it off so we don't hang out so much... :P
