Here are some new spells for conjuring up a quick (but not cheap or even necessarily good) army...
Conjure Goblinoid
Level:
Magic-user 1
Duration:
Instant
Range:
60’
This spell transforms
one or more normal animals of animal intelligence into kobolds, goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, gnolls, or bugbears. The magic-user can conjure one “point” worth of goblinoids per caster
level; a kobold (1/2 HD) or goblin (1-1 HD) costs 1/2 point; an orc (1 HD) costs 1
point; a hobgoblin (1+1 HD) costs 1 1/2 points; a gnoll (2 HD) costs 2 points; and
a bugbear (3+1 HD) costs 3 points; “leader types” can also be conjured for the
base cost of the goblinoid type plus 1 point per additional hit die, though goblinoids
with class levels cannot be conjured in this way.
Multiple kobolds may be conjured from a single canine, including coyotes, dogs, foxes, or jackals; a
single canine may be used to conjure as many kobolds as it has hit points. Goblins
must be individually conjured from tiny or small lesser creatures, such as badgers,
birds, cats, dogs, foxes, frogs, lizards, monkeys, piglets, rats, toads,
weasels, etc. Orcs are conjured exclusively from adult swine – wild swine,
domesticated pigs, or warthogs. Hobgoblins must be conjured from small to
medium-sized carnivores or omnivores, such as black bears, large birds, baboons,
chimpanzees, crocodiles, large dogs, goats, panthers, and so forth. Gnolls must
be conjured from hyenas. Bugbears must be conjured from medium to large
carnivores or omnivores, such as brown bears, polar bears, lions, tigers, wolverines,
wolves, and so on.
Conjured goblinoids
have goblin-level intelligence, fully understand goblin “culture,” can speak their
dialect of Goblinish and Common, and are obedient to their creator (+2 Morale).
They can reproduce among themselves by type (provided there are males and females), often mixing the characteristics
of their founding animals into strange and unusual combinations. They do not
have armor or weapons when conjured. Once conjured, the goblinoids are
permanent, and cannot be dispelled.
Each individual target
gets a saving throw versus Spells; if an animal’s saving throw succeeds, that
animal is not transformed, and flees thereafter at maximum speed for one round
per caster level.
The material
component is gem dust, sprinkled on or toward the target animal(s), requiring 10
gpv per point used, which is expended in the casting of the spell.
