[3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Earthscorn Summoning
As you finish chanting your spell, nothing happens...except a steadily growing shadow above your opponent.
Prerequisites: Caster level 9th
Benefit: Whenever you cast a Conjuration spell that creates an object or a creature, you may designate it to appear anywhere within range, as long as you have line of effect to that location.
If the spell's effect would deal fall damage to another creature, that creature is entitled to a Reflex save (calculated as normal for the original spell) in order to take only half damage. Each size category by which the spell's effect exceeds the creature's size adds 1 to the DC.
On a successful Reflex save, the creature is shifted to the nearest available free space. On a failed save, the falling creature or object automatically initiates a grapple (inanimate objects get their size bonus to the grapple, and may only attempt to pin).
Normal: Conjuration spells may only summon creatures or objects on surfaces that are capable of supporting them.

Finally can we drop pianos on people! Love the feat, Flicker.
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
I don't know about the balance for this, but this... this is just awesome.
Speaking of falling whales, would the summoned creatures take falling damage if summoned in the air and being incapable of flight?
EDIT: And I don't mean to derail the thread, but do summoned creatures that are not extraplanar actually die when slain? As awesome as this might be, think of the Druids that would fall because their summoning of the animal in the sky unwittingly killed aforementioned animal.Last edited by LOTRfan; 2010-11-07 at 06:38 PM.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
The summoned creature takes damage, yes - 1d6 per 10 feet, to a max of 20d6. This damage plus 1d6/200lbs of the object's weight is dealt to the target. So a Medium Earth Elemental (SMV) deals 3d6 damage plus the fall damage.
SNA creatures still reform after 24 hours if they're slain, just like SM creatures.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Called creatures actually die, on the other hand, and Gate happens to be Conjuration. A new and amusing way to use 9th level spells to kill your enemies. :)

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Wait, you have to summon your creatures on the ground in the first place?
In my group we've been dropping hydras and Paladin mounts on the enemies since access to summoning has existed!Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

"An environment that can support the creature", or something like that.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Nice, of course, but it'd be helpful to add some hints for adjudicating the effects. Say, the Reflex save that would be required, whether said save is higher if you're summoning something larger (it's easier to dodge a falling monkey than a falling kraken), and maybe the weights of some common summoned creatures for easy cross-referencing with the falling damage chart

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
You could have the summoned whatever make an automatic grapple check to represent the target needing to get out from under it. Inanimate objects would just get their size bonus to the check (it's hard to get out from under a piano that's fallen on top of you, but much easier than getting out from under an angelic buffalo that's fallen on top of you).

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Actually, this doesn't allow that. Now normally I wouldn't get picky, but since I made dropping ACTUAL piano's on people an option, I thought I should go ahead and point you to the appropriate thread. It also includes bricks, adamintine treasure chests, anvils, and viking longboats. It also has the small benefit of almost certainly being better balanced than this.
Anyway, here you go: Falling Anvil a martial discipline.Last edited by DracoDei; 2013-01-05 at 10:02 PM.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
My first though was a whale falling in the air, naming it's tail, and asking what that thing was rushing towards it before it went splat...

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Summon Instrument and a Large-sized bard with enough strength to hold a piano. Done.
And I don't mean to be harsh, but since you had two different Falling Anvil threads on the front page of Homebrew yesterday I don't think it's necessary to bring it up in an unrelated thread.

Re: [3.5, feat] Whalepocalypse from the Sky
Win.
Didn't consider it in that light, and I probably should have only bumped one of the two threads. OTOH, I don't think everyone would have made the connection. Still, on balance, I probably should have resisted. Will make an edit to keep it for posterity.
EDIT: And since this is now "posterity" I have reversed the spoilerization.Last edited by DracoDei; 2013-01-05 at 10:03 PM.
