Necromancer spell/skill

[Ashr]

Nightmare: (or some other name)

Allows Necromancers to send messages to sleeping people, in some sort of spooky form. Sort of like ventriloquate on sleeping victims (possibly even only ones that are affected by sleep).

Why?: RP-value. Having successfully cast sleep on someone is the perfect opportunity to go into a monologue about how much more powerful the Necromancer is than every other entity who has ever existed ever. Or maybe give them scary dreams. (Some might even talk so long that the sleep would wear off half-way through their speech)

I can't think of any real problems with the skill, aside from maybe being viewed as a waste of practices. People might not care for being taunted while they're already asleep.

Necromancers would get the skill/spell at level 10, as that's when they get sleep.

It's the right class for the skill because Necromancers are arrogant asses, and they get the sleep spell.

I can't really think of any way it'd be abused, if anything it is more limited than ventriloquate. I guess maybe people could feign immortal-looking messages or something. Couldn't they do that with ventriloquate anyway, though?

Might be viewed as antithematic. Could just say they call upon the spirits of the dead to plague the target's dreams.

wow, this skill sounds badass, although it could be abused if they wanted to talk to anyone, like talking to them in their sleep just to let them rest or something like that...its not a bad idea though, i like the whole idea of it

I once did a vamp conversion with a sleep/nightmares so I agree that it is good rp. As long as they're in the same room of course.

Actually, Dav. That's not a bad idea about the vampire thing. Eventhough, you say you've dabbled in it already, if I may suggest something. You know how some cabals have the skill abduct/imprison etc. Perhaps the eldest of vampires can be able to "kidnap" or "something" when they land ecstacy? Bringing their victim to "castle of the count" or something. Where the vampire will not be affected by sunlight, for the remainder of the dream/nightmare. Depending on wether you are the victim/hunter. After all, Vampires are feared by all and shunned by all.
