    Default Re: Misheard spells

    Hope this thread isn't too old at 11 days...

    Rary's Pneumonic Enhancer: +2 to all fort saves related to breathing, +2 rounds holding breath as per the drowning rules.

    In turn misheard as...

    Rary's Pneumatic Enhancer: Chosen portion of target's anatomy becomes inflated with air.

    And from there...

    Rary's Pneumatic Enchanter: Created inflatable dummy can cast up to third-level Sor/Wiz spells of the Enchantment school (CL5). Total 2 SLs*/level. Conjuration/Creation, but caster must not have the Enchantment school barred.

    Not so much anymore on the "misheard" front, but from these the inspiration is obvious to develop spells such as Pneumatic Evoker, Pneumatic Illusionist, etc.

    *i.e. a first-level spell costs one such "point", a second-level spell costs two; zero-level spells cost one half. Once these are exhausted, a hole appears and it deflates comically. The deflated dummy can be reused as a material component in a later casting of the spell.
