Tenser's Floating Bandage?

lunar

When Neera is badly wounded she yells 'I could really use Tenser's Floating Bandage over here!'. I like the spell's name, sounds like some minor emergency healing spell. I think she is obviously joking, as I know mages are not supposed to heal, but I wondered if there is any official PnP spell like this?

Inspired by this, I used DLTCEP and made a custom wild mage spell, Tenser's Floating Bandage. It conjures up healing bandages out of thin air that patches the target creature's bleeding wounds and all. It uses Larloch's minor drain animation, but the target is healed by 1d4 hit points (%75 chance) or 1d8 hit points (%25 chance) so it is a very weak version of Cure Light Wounds, but castable by wild mages and is a ranged spell that a mage can toss onto an ally from a far.

I gave it to my wild mage PC via ShadowKeeper and have been having fun with it, purely for RP purposes since it does not heal that much most of the time. But when Neera needs for it I can now do as she asks. Thoughts?

Should of made it neera only spell but sounds fun.

That's...a really awesome thing to do. Any plans to release this as a mini-mod?

According to PS:T, bandages should heal 3 damage on use.

Yeah you are right. Maybe I can give it to Neera as well. But since she is the one asking for the spell I thought it is nice for my PC to have and apply it to her. (and kinda romantic too! Heh.)

I thank you. It takes only one minute or two to create the spell's file using DLTCEP:New spell, mage level:1, ranged 1 target, range:20, casting time:1, use Larloch's Drain animation, and Cure Light Wound's healing effect but edit it to heal lesser amount. I had to edit dialog.tlk via DLTCEP to create its unique in-game description and text.

Without Weidu you have to do editing dialog.tlk manually, if you simply throw the spell file into override, the game will have the spell but its description, name and in-game text will be wonky. (mine said 'fist+3' as spell name and description before editing dialog.tlk) And I have no idea about modding with Weidu, and if Weidu even works with BG:EE.

Yes, this spell heals 2-3 hit points on average. A little more, if you are very lucky. It can potentially heal as much as cure light wounds, with 1/32 chance. (need to roll %25 to roll a 1d8 and then roll maximum 8)

The spell Neera is referencing is the 2nd edition lvl 1 spell Tenser's Floating Disc which creates a floating mobile disc of force that can carry a high amount of weight. Think of it as a conjured pack mule for all the loot you're hauling out of a dungeon... or the bodies of your allies who need ressing >_>

Neera brings up a lot of questions. Like how does one get a cleric license?

Calmar

Don't you guys think that's just Neeras sense of humour?

MedullaOblongata

Yes, that spell does exist. It's called Cure Light Wounds :P

reedmilfam

Very fun and creative. I do like some of the humor.

Obviously. Doesn't mean we can't have fun with it.

Also, Frosty Death is a great name for a sundae.

I think you need some tensor's cough medication

Tensor made a lot of great spells. Little known trivia; when he was a 0-rank mage he went by "Scalar."

Calmar

Why do you call him 'Tensor'? Dude's name is Tenser, unless I am missing a joke.

Well, first you have to fill out some forms at the registrars office, then you have to take a multiple choice test (which determines what god you should worship, see if you know when to cast certain spells and so on), then you get a temporary cleric permit which allows you to cast 0 level spells for six months. Then you come back, take a practical exam, and if you pass... licensed cleric!
