PFSRD:Symbol of Pain
| This material is published under the OGL 1.0a. |
Symbol of Pain
School necromancy [evil]; Level cleric 5, sorcerer/wizard 5
Components V, S, M (mercury and phosphorus, plus powdered diamond and opal worth a total of 1,000 gp)
This spell functions like symbol of death, except that each creature within the radius of a symbol of pain instead suffers wracking pains that impose a –4 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks. These effects last for 1 hour after the creature moves farther than 60 feet from the symbol.
Unlike symbol of death, symbol of pain has no hit point limit; once triggered, a symbol of pain simply remains active for 10 minutes per caster level.
Note: Magic traps such as symbol of pain are hard to detect and disable. While any character can use Perception to find a symbol, only a character with the trapfinding class feature can use Disable Device to disarm it. The DC in each case is 25 + spell level, or 30 for symbol of pain.
