At Death's Door
Illusion/Phantasm
Sorc/Wiz 1, Brd 1
Range: Touch
Duration: 1Hour/Caster Level
Save: see below
Effect: The subject of this spell must be willing or it fails to take effect. Upon a willing subject, this spell places illusory wounds and injuries which makes it appear that the subject is very close to dying, or is perhaps stabilized with negative HP.
For those viewing the nearly departed, a Will save is allowed at DC 10 + Caster Level + Caster Wisdom Bonus. If a member of a group succeeds, he may attempt to help his companions with a second Save, (+2 if well known, +1 if known by reputation.) Otherwise, those who fail continue to see the badly wounded character while those who achieve the save see through the illusion.
