Suggestion

School enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent, mind-affecting]; Level bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 3

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, M (a snake's tongue and a honeycomb)

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Target one living creature

Duration 1 hour/level or until completed

Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

You influence the actions of the target creature by suggesting a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two). The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.

The suggested course of activity can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You 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.

A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a penalty (such as –1 or –2).

Suggestion, Mass

School enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent, mind-affecting]; Level bard 5, sorcerer/wizard 6

Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

This spell functions like suggestion, except that it can affect more creatures. The same suggestion applies to all these creatures.
