Six More 3rd-Level Hasty Spells for Pathfinder 1st-edition (Patreon)

I wrote four 3rd-level hasty spells for Pathfinder 1st ed last Thursday, but collapsed from chemo-induced fatigue before I could flesh it out to a full ten. So, here are six more!

Accursed Glare, HastySchool necromancy [curse]; Level antipaladin 3, witch 3, wizard 3Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents NoneRange close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)Target one creatureDuration 3 roundsSaving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

You channel a fell curse through your glare. You cannot target a creature with a hasty accursed glare unless you can see it and it can see you with a visual sense (rather than something like tremorsense). Bonuses against and immunity to gaze attacks apply to hasty accursed glare.

If the target fails its saving throw, it begins to obsessively second-guess its actions and attract bad luck. Whenever the target attempts an attack roll or saving throw, it must roll twice and take the lower result.

Adroit Retrieval, HastySchool transmutation; Level wizard 3Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents VRange personalTarget youDuration 3 rounds

You gain the ability to withdraw small items from your pockets or packs with supernatural swiftness. When you retrieve an item stored on yourself, you can retrieve the item either as a move action without provoking attacks of opportunity, or as a swift action that provokes attacks of opportunity. This effect functions only when you attempt to retrieve a stored item that weighs less than 1 pound per 2 caster levels (maximum 10 pounds).

Animate Dead, HastySchool necromancy [evil]; Level adept 3, antipaladin 3, cleric 3, occultist 3, shaman 3, spiritualist 3, wizard 4Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents VRange touchTargets one or more corpses touchedDuration 1 round/levelSaving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

This spell functions as animate dead, except as noted above and as follows. turns corpses into undead skeletons or zombies that obey your spoken commands. The spell has a duration and is thus subject to dispel magic. At the end of the duration, undead created by it revert to corpses. Corpses affects by this spell cannot be made into undead by a spell of less than 4th level.

Regardless of the type of undead you create with this spell, you can't have more total HD of undead created by this spell at one time than your caster level. The desecrate spell doubles this limit.

This spell counts as animate undead for purposes of how many total HD of undead you can control at once.

Fly, HastySchool transmutation; Level bloodrager 3, magus 3, medium 3, occultist 3, psychic 3, shaman 3, spiritualist 3, summoner 3, summoner (unchained) 3, witch 3, wizard 3Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents VRange personalTarget youDuration 3 rounds

This spell functions as fly except as noted above, and as follows. The fly speed it gives you is only a 40-foot movement rate (or 30 feet if you wear medium or heavy armor, or carry a medium or heavy load).

Heroism, HastySchool enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting]; Level bard 3, bloodrager 3, inquisitor 3, medium 3, psychic 3, spiritualist 3, summoner 3, summoner (unchained) 3, witch 3, wizard 3Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents V Range personal Target you Duration 5 rounds

This spell functions as heroism except as noted above.

Gaseous Form, HastySchool transmutation; Level bard 3, magus 3, medium 3, occultist 3, psychic 3, spiritualist 3, wizard 3Casting Time 1 swift actionComponents VRange personalTarget youDuration 5 rounds

SupportI am fighting cancer. I'm currently on chemo, and likely will be for months. The total cost of my treatment is high, and constantly rising, despite my having insurance.

If you want to help me cover cancer treatment costs, right now, the main way to offer your support is to purchase Like A Boss, a charity project that friends and colleagues within the game industry created to help pay my medical costs. You can pick it up here or here.
