Barrok devised this spell to have the last laugh at his would be slayers, especially ones with an inherent magical resistance. When this spell is cast it lies dorment until the mage reaches 0 hit points or until the duration ends. When the spell is activated the target who caused the mage to reach 0 hit points is hit by a poisoned icicle, as long as the target is within 100'.
Does 1d10 + Caster Level (max +25) in piercing damage, Ref save for Half damage.

If the target took any damage from the icicle, he must make a Fort save or take 1d10 points of Con damage from poison, this repeats a minute later.

Target and everyone within 5' must take 1d4 cold damage/2 levels of the caster (max 10d4) and are slowed for 2d4 rounds. Fort save for half damage and no slow effect.


Material component: Drop of water from an icicle mixed with a drop of poison.

just a drop of water? shouldn't there be something for the poison and the slow?

[Knight of Roses]

What exactly will trigger this spell? Melee and ranged attacks by implication. Will spells? What about poison?

Make the range self and then define in the spell how far the attack can go.

I think I would set up the icicle like this:

Does 1d10 + Caster Level (max +25) in piercing damage, Ref save for Half damage.

If the target took any damage from the icicle, he must make a Fort save or take 1d10 points of Con damage from poison, this repeats a minute later.

Target and everyone within 5' must take 1d4 cold damage/2 levels of the caster (max 10d4) and are slowed for 2d4 rounds. Fort save for half damage and no slow effect.
