Description
- This spell functions like Symbol of Death (Spell), except that using the material component, you scribe a Symbol of Striking so it fills a 5-foot square. Once triggered, the Symbol of Striking glows and lasts for 10 minutes per caster level or until it has made a number of attacks of opportunity equal to your level, whichever comes first. When triggered, the Symbol threatens its area and the area around it as if it were a Medium creature wielding a magic version of the weapon you used as the material component. Using your caster level + 1 + your INT modifier (wizard) or WIS modifier (Cleric) or CHA modifier (sorcerer) as its attack bonus, the symbol can make a number of attacks of opportunity each round equal to 1 + the same ability score modifier you used to determine its attack bonus. It gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to the same ability score modifier you used to determine its attack bonus. A shadowy version of you wielding the material component appears to make these attacks.
- The Symbol attacks any non-attuned creature that provokes an attack of opportunity from the Symbol. However, when the Symbol first attacks a creature, the Symbol must overcome that creature's Spell Resistance or be rendered unable to harm it. The Symbol never again attacks such creatures. Further, when the Symbol first attacks a creature, a successful WILL saving throw allows the creature to see the shadow nature of the attacks and take half damage when such attacks hit.
- Symbol of Striking can be made permanent with a Permanency (Spell) by a caster of 13th level or higher for the cost of 10,000 gp.
