Blasphemy

School: Evocation [Evil, Sonic]

Tier: 7

Casting Time: 1 Standard Action

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 CL)

Target: Radius burst, centered on caster

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Will partial, see text

Spell Resistance: Yes

Any nonevil creature within the area of a blasphemy spell suffers the following ill effects:

• Dazed: The creature can take no actions for 1d4 rounds, though it defends itself normally. Save negates.

• Weakened: The creature’s Strength score decreases by 2d6 points for 2d6 rounds. Save for half.

• Paralyzed: The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes. Save reduces the paralyzed effect to 1 round.

• Killed: Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed. Save negates. If the save is successful, the creature instead takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum 20d6 + 20).

The effects are cumulative and concurrent. A successful Will save reduces or eliminates these effects. Creatures affected by multiple effects make only one save and apply the result to all the effects. Furthermore, if you are on your home plane when you cast this spell, nonevil extraplanar creatures within the area are instantly banished back to their home planes. Creatures so banished cannot return for at least 24 hours. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creatures hear the blasphemy or not. The banishment effect allows a Will save (at a -4 penalty) to negate.

Creatures whose Hit Dice exceed your caster level are unaffected by blasphemy.
