Fiendish Presence [Heritage]

You share your ancestors’ ability to tamper with the minds of weak-minded fools.

Prerequisites: Non-good alignment, Fiendish Heritage, character level 6th.

Benefit: You gain the following spell-like abilities, each usable once per day: cause fear, detect thoughts, and suggestion. Your caster level equals your character level.

Roll20 Macros

When using these macros for the spell-like abilities, be sure that the clmod-fp attribute has been added under the D&D 3.5 Roll20 character sheet under the Attributes & Abilities tab. Set its value to 1 if character also has the Fiendish Power feat or to 0 if not.

Cause Fear

Creatures with 6 or more Hit Dice are immune to this effect.

Detect Thoughts

&{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{spellflag=true}} {{name=@{character_name}}} {{subtags=casts [**Detect Thoughts**](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Spells/PH/Detect_Thoughts) as a [spell-like ability](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Rules/TSSA#Sp )…}} {{School:=Divination}} {{Level:=Bard 2, Knowledge 2, Mentalism 2, Mind 2, Sorcerer 2, Wizard 2}} {{Components:=V, S}} {{Casting Time:=1 standard action}} {{Range:=60 ft.}} {{Area:=Cone-shaped emanation}} {{Duration:=Concentration, up to [[@{level} [CL] + @{clmod} [CL mod]]]minute(s) [(D)](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Rules/Magic#Dismissable)}} {{Saving Throw:=Will negates, DC[[@{spelldc2}+@{sf-divination}]]; see text}} {{Spell Resistance:=No}} {{notes=@{character_name} detects surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed depends on how long @{subjective} studies a particular area or subject.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1st Round:** Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2nd Round:** Number of thinking minds and the Intelligence score of each. If the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher than @{possessive} @{int} Intelligence score), @{character_name} is [stunned](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Rules/Cond#Stunned) for 1 round and the spell ends. This spell does not let @{objective} determine the location of the thinking minds if @{subjective} can’t see the creatures whose thoughts @{subjective} is detecting.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3rd Round:** Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target’s DC[[@{spelldc2}+@{sf-divination}]]&#8203;Will save prevents @{character_name} from reading its thoughts, and @{subjective} must cast **detect thoughts** again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts that @{subjective} can pick up.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each round, @{character_name} can turn to detect thoughts in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.}}

Suggestion

&{template:DnD35StdRoll} {{spellflag=true}} {{name=@{character_name}}} {{subtags=casts [**Suggestion**](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Spells/PH/Suggestion) as a [spell-like ability](https://kaabbott.synology.me/a35/Rules/TSSA#Sp )…}} {{School:=Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]}} {{Level:=Bard 2, Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3}} {{Components:=V, M}} {{Casting Time:=1 standard action}} {{Range:=Close ([[ 25 + 5 * floor( (@{level} [CL] + @{clmod} [CL mod] )  / 2) ]]ft.) }} {{Target:=One living creature}} {{Duration:=[[ @{level} [CL] + @{clmod} [CL mod] ]]hours or until completed}} {{Saving Throw:=Will negates, DC[[ @{spelldc3} + @{sf-enchantment} ]] }} {{Spell Resistance:=Yes}} {{Caster level check:=[[1d20 + @{level} [CL] + @{clmod} [CL mod] + @{spellpen} [Spell Penetration] ]]vs. spell resistance.}} {{notes=@{character_name} attempts to influence the subject, suggesting a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two). It must be worded in a manner to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the target to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The suggested activity can continue for the entire duration. If that activity finishes in a shorter time, the spell ends then. @{character_name} can instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. If the condition is not met before the spell duration expires, the activity is not performed.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a penalty (such as –1 or –2).}}
