Is there a spell that would allow you to permanently change someone's eye colour? Minor I know, but I can't find anything, short of a Polymorph Any Object, and that seems like a touch of overkill.

No. You could do a customer cosmetic polymorph spell though. It's the type of thing that has little every day use to an adventurer thus it's probably not in there.

More the purvue of non adventuring spell slingers who work in the private sector. You could open up a pretty good business based on minor polymorph spells.

Disguise Self with a house rule that Permanency works on it? Alternatively, a Hat of Disguise (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#hatofDisguise) can keep it up indefinitely.

I imagine prestidigitation could be used to change your own eye color, but not permanently. But I imagine such cosmagic surgery wouldn't be that high level of a spell, probably a 1st level spell, tops.

Does your DM not allow custom built spells created by the PC? if not shoot him, that's half the damn fun of being a caster. just build a first level spell that allows the permanent change in color of one square inch per level. just for really minor things. or permanency on prestidigitation.

Ditto to Starsinger's post. A splash or permanencied prestidigitation should do the trick.

Polymorph Any Object will do the job, and will be permanent.

You know, I could have sworn I'd actually read the opening post first...

Yeah, hadn't talked it over with the DM yet. Was hoping there was something in the game already.

That said, I'll be talking to him asap about a custom spell. He's pretty good about things like that.

I just had to have a go at this one. But I figured that actual spells would be more on-topic in the Homebrew forum, so I posted them there (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2780842#post2780842).

A side effect of Arcane Sight is to make your eyes glow blue, and it can be permanencied. Probably not really what you want, though.

How about using Minor or Major Creation along with Craft Wondrous Item to make coloured contact lenses? :P

Magic coloured contact lenses. Like Eyes of the Eagle, except they turn your eyes a nice shade of green.

Interesting, might I ask you, why you want a spell to do this?

Purely RP. A party member has been afflicted with Lycanthropy, and one of the changes is that his eyes have gone from their usual pale icy blue color to wolf yellow. He wants his blue eyes back. Nothing serious, but it would be good RP to accomplish it, and his character and mine are pretty close, so I'd like to acommodate him.

Er, ehm, if we put cosmetic surgery into D&D, people will probably want spells to, well, enlarge certain specific body parts? You know, the kind of stuff everybody gets five spammy e-mails per day for?

^ You know if you could localize a enlarge person spell that just might work, but it would be horrible overkill.

I'd still go for the contact lenses approach. It's already established that D&D worlds have contact lenses, since the DMG has stuff like Eyes of the Eagle. So all you have to do is make a nonmagical version of the same with a blue tint. Should be very cheap, and you can switch the colours afterwards whenever you feel like it. :)

While Prestidigitation has already been said I don't even think it need permanency. The duration for the spell is for how long you can preform its effects, not the effects themselves. So you could color someones eyes as long as the DM allowed that as a minor effect, which if not wouldn't matter with permanency one way or the other.

Welcome to House Rules 101

I suppose another way to get his blue eyes back would be to go on some godforsaken quest to find a cure.

Except he doesn't want a cure. :)

But yeah, looks like the DM is going to enforce the eye color... a burden to bear and all that. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Good for the DM; Lycanthropy can be very powerful, and generally not accepted in the non-evil civilized lands. Should be some side-effect for wanting to keep it, unless he's like a were-sloth or something. Then I just feel sorry for him, and offer this vial of wyvern's sting poison to ease the burden.

Haven't done that one. Did have a DM allow 2 different spells. One was an enchantment, range of 'self'. Certain bodily fluids taste like ice tea.
Another, can be cast on others or self, transmutation... Actually make those same fluids taste like ice tea.

While I can not believe that I am actually responding to this... *shudders* you could do that with Prestidigitation.

Part of me wants to ask which ones, but the other part fears the answer.

That reminds me of Carpe Jugulum:

"I'm a vampire! I'm supposed to crave blood! And all I can think about is a cup of tea with three sugars in it, whatever the hell that is!"

It would make a lot more sense for those Eyes to be monocles.
