Disfiguring

Ooh...deadly, very deadly. Would work very well against a lot of PCs, especially with CHA being so dump-y...*applause*

On the subject of the material component...not something that would be usually seen in a spell component pouch, even if there's not a GP value for it. Maybe the DM should have the player RP a way to it or go on an adventure for it...

[Icewalker]

Nice. Quite fun, and quite evil.

[Demented]

Charisma has more to do with force of character than scars and disfigurements. That doesn't really stress believability here, up until the point where a character is rendered permanently unconscious "because he's so ugly!" One also has to wonder the fate of a spontaneous caster.... "I'm so hideous, I can't cast spells!"

*shrug*
Just peculiar.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Well, when your face is covered in scar tissue and you can't talk well because your lips are swelled almost shut and you move differently because of how you healed... its more than just looks, it affects most of you.

And I'm sure its disconcerting to most any creature to find itself looking like a monster.

I could throw in that it also fills them with revulsion of themselves if you like...

Remind me to NEVER join your campaigns, VT. These spells are getting too creepy.

Mechanicaly, it works. It'd be funny to see this happen to somebody like Nale, who needs charisma for that ever-so-needed bluff check.

i thought it was obvious you would not want to play in his campaign dude to monsters... they make these spells look nice...

[Dhavaer]

I'm sure the weapon enhancement is in the Book of Erotic Fantasy, except they have an actual appearance ability...

[SweetRein]

I question the effects on an already hideous creature or someone who was already using their frightening appearances as intimidation fodder.

Well, look, there are just some facets of D&D that make no sense. I just twist the crazy rules to my purpose.

True, Vorpal's monsters make Cthulu look like Mr. Rogers.
