Potestas: a D&D3E supplement

Spells

Ward

Abjuration
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 10 ft
Target: 10-ft emanation, centered on you
Duration: 10 minutes/Power point (D)
Saving Throw: None or Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
Minimum Power Points: 3

You bring into being a mobile, hemispherical energy field that prevents the entrance of all creatures of a particular type. Creatures with equal or less Magic Power than the Power points expended by the caster cannot enter the area, while creatures with more Magic Power may attempt a Will saving throw each round they attempt to enter the area. Attempting to enter or entereing the area is painful, and causes 4 points of damage.
This spell may be used only defensively, not aggressively. Forcing an abjuration barrier against creatures that the spell keeps at bay collapses the barrier, allowing them to enter the area without having to attempt a saving throw and causing no damage.
Restriction: Choose one type of creature when you learn this spell. This spell only works on creatures of that type.
Heighten: Each additional Power point causes an additional 2 points of damage.
