Title: Spoken command to dispel spells
Post by: Variable on July 07, 2006, 11:17:22 AM

I would really apreciate having a spoken command to be able to fade spells instead of having to use the rune. This would be particularly helpful when Greater Santuary doesn't work and I need to fade it to use a potion of invisibility.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the G-sanc example?

It is just an example of when this command would be useful, because in most situations when you are dispelling spell effects you are in a safe area where it does not matter if you use a round to use the item.

I get it. Like, something along the lines of...

/o Dispel Greater Sanctuary

or /o Dispel Stoneskin

..if you make a spellcraft check of like 10 + spell level you loose that buff, or something. Who knows. Sounds cool, though, but there are all ready items that remove G-Sanc, or all spells, or all Illusion spells. Check the Temples and what not.

No no, A spoken comand that does the same thing as the current runes.
 
  The runes take 1 round to use (while a caster should be able to dismiss their spells as a free action.)
 
  This really isn't a big deal except in the case where G-sanc fails and you're being chased by a horde of bugbears intent on your destruction and you cant heal yourself because you're Gsanced or cast any spells against them and you have to take a round getting pummeled to use the rune to get out of gsanc.
 
  This idea is identical to the save, eat and drink commands.

 Heh exactly.  Great Dorg! Thanks

Is there a way to dispel individual buffs?  "/o c dispel Barkskin" doesn't work.  The "/o c dispel all" command removes shape shifted form, which is what I'm trying to get around.

Thanks!

No, there is not.
  It would take a lot of code to support dispeling of individual buffs, actually.
