By means of this spell, the cleric is able to expunge any form of possession by a creature, usually extra-planar in nature. This spell takes the form of a ritual in which the cleric draws a circle in the ground and places the possessed target within. He then kneels outside the circle and utters the incantations of this spell to attempt to force the possessing creature out of the target. The possessing creature is allowed a mental save against the Exorcism, but the save is made at -5 per level above the minimum needed to cast this spell (rank 9). As such, the modifier to the possessing creature's mental save is equal to (cast rank - 9) * 5. Especially powerful creatures may gain bonuses against this save at the GM's discretion. If the possessing creature makes it save, it gains a +5 to saves against all future exorcism attempts by the same cleric. This bonus is cumulative such that if the same cleric tries and fails twice, the save bonus increases to +10, etc.
This ritual uses 100 sp worth of holy water and other ritual components. |
