Doppelganger: Additional Spell List LIGHTSHIFTING
by Juri Memmert

Updated: September, 18th, 1997

This spell list was created as a supplement for the Doppelganger Base Lists for the Rolemaster Classic Series.
Since there was a Spell List: Dark Shifting and no appropriate list for 'good' creatures, I made up this one.

Doppelganger Base: Light Shifting
Level Spell Name Area of Effect Duration Range
1 Type Light Beast * 1 Beast P 100'
2 Type Summonable Entity * 1 Entity P 100'
3 Type Not - Summonable Entity * 1 Entity P 100'
4 Body Preparation # Self - Self
5 Knowledge * Self 1 hr / lvl Self
6 Light Beast Form I Self 24 hrs Self
7 Summonable Entity Form I Self 24 hrs Self
8 Not-Summon. Entity Form I Self 24 hrs Self
9 Light Beast Form II Self 24 hrs Self
10 Summonable Entity Form II Self 24 hrs Self
11 Not-Summon. Entity Form II Self 24 hrs Self
12 Light Beast Form III Self 24 hrs Self
13 Summonable Entity Form III Self 24 hrs Self
14 Not-Summon. Entity Form III Self 24 hrs Self
15 Light Beast Form True Self P Self
16 Summonable Entity Form True Self P Self
17 Not-Summon. Entity Form True Self P Self
18 Order Form I Self 24 hrs Self
19 Order Form II Self 24 hrs Self

30 Order Form True Self P Self
50 Light Form Shift Self 1 rnd / lvl Self

Note: Caster may only have one form for every five levels of experience (round up) of each type stored at any one time. Caster may willingly cancel any one stored form and store another form in its place. When in light beast form, caster may resemble himself. There is a base chance of 1% per day that the caster will suffer form delusion while under the effect of one or more Form spells. All Form spells take three rounds to complete the shift. While in another form, caster must acquire nutrition per the norm of that form (e.g. a Unicorn must graze).
Since there is no 'Type' for Not - Summonable Entities, assume Level 1 - 7 for Form I, Level 1 - 14 for Form II, 1 - 21 for Form III and 1 - 50+ for True Form.
The Order Form spells are very strong, but may offend the deity, whose Holy Champions are emulated (GM discretion).
'*' describes Instantaneous spells
'#' describes spells which come a no PP cost
