Wording on variant Bestow Curse?
« on: November 25, 2015, 03:37:46 PM »
There was a discussion in Fun Finds 6, about
the DMag #348 variant of Greater Bestow Curse.

http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=13562.msg284650#msg284650


Q1 ... Is that the correct wording?

Q2 ... when do you think a local small semi- magic mart, get access?

"Q" 3 ... uhh Wizard with 5e armor hi-jinks ?

Variant Greater Bestow Curse
Quote
- The target loses a class ability, such as spellcasting, sneak attack damage, or barbarian rage.  If this class ability is a prerequisite for other abilities or feats, the target loses the use of those feats as well.

Along with a bunch of other possible greater curses.

Wait, can you use this "curse" on Incantatrix or Red Wizard? (of course you can)So, basically you can remove "Focused Study" class ability which bans your one school of magic. Also, I think Specialist Wizard's banned schools are (EX) ability. So with 5 curses, you can be Focused Specialist, Incantatrix, Red Wizard with all schools. lel.

Rakshasa racial prog in SavSpecies has

Barb's "illiterate" has it's own entry, so that's legit target (even if completely stupid).

Druid's "weapon and armor proficiency" is targetable, and easily replaced.
Collides with the basic fluff of the class.

Paladin's "code of conduct" might be targetable, I'm not sure.
If so, that would eliminate all sorts of insane-al-retentive bad player modes.
Perhaps the SRD is not the best source for the specific details on this one.
