If saving throw is failed the target(s) are under the influence of the wearer and consider the wearer a loyal and trusted friend. The duration of the spell is permanent unless dispelled.<br /><br />Hold: The wearer can immobilize up to 1d4 humanoids. If they fail their saving throws they are completely immobilized. The wearer may opt to target a single humanoid, in this case the saving throw is at a disadvantage.<br /><br />Polymorph: A creature can be turned into another type of creature. The polymorphed creature gains all the abilities of the new form, but retains its own mind, to hit bonus, and hit points. Likewise the wearer can turn into another type of creatures with the same advantages and limitations.<br />Costs Creation: 6,000d; Sale: 12,000d.<br />Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-46498945586392159012016-12-01T02:33:12.312-05:002016-12-01T02:33:12.312-05:00I would assume the former, but Guy Fullerton makes...I would assume the former, but Guy Fullerton makes a good point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113033843564920306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-3988717744061784032016-12-01T00:44:32.500-05:002016-12-01T00:44:32.500-05:00S&W's "Robe of Wizardry" is the ...S&W's "Robe of Wizardry" is the nudge-nudge-wink-wink version of OD&D's "Wizard's Robe":<br />"Wizard's Robe: When garbed in this robe a Wizard has a 95% chance of success when casting the following spells: Charm, Hold.
