[d20 Conan] Entrance spell

[rabindranath72]

Never used this spell, now one of my players has selected it, and I realised that I cannot understand how it works.
I cannot understand whether the 6HD limit is absolute, so that you can cast the spell in increments of +2HD up to 6HD.
OR, if 6HD is the limit for the "basic" version, which you can extend in increments of +2HD (so you could affect a creature of, say, 8HD with one more round of concentration.)

Max is 6HD!

Then....


He can boost the spell by +2 per Full-round staring at intended victim, plus also as you see it stack also with the +1 MA roll!

Example:

1st lvl Sorcerer stares at at 20th lvl Barbarian in a crowded street for 7 full-rounds get +14 HD to the Basic 6HD =total of 20HD, he also get +7 to his Magic Attack Roll!

Hope it helps and hope I got it right, it does say:

For each Full-round he does nothing but stare? in spell description!

This would be my interpretation as well, but the sentence about maximum 6hd muddle the waters a bit.

Yeah the closest thing I can think of his like Thulsa Doom from the movie, using it to calm his subjects before I swings and lops their head off.

Looookkkk....looookkkk! Look at the pretty object. See how it twirls. Your every thought, you've forgotten. Your don't want to move. You are..

...wait a minute. Are you 7th level? Crap. OK, give me a minute. I've got to concentrate a bit ...long...ger....longer.

OK.

Looookkkk! Look at the pretty object...

Entrance is great spell, but I always though that it has a SILLY casting time (ONE FULL ROUND!).
On the other hand, waiting until you get the "Adept" feat (12th level, at least) is definitively too much.
So I try to fix this with a feat like this:

NEW FEAT:
Powerful Mesmerizer
Your skill in entrancing people is amazing.
Prerequisites: Magic Bab +3, Hypnotism Sorcery style, Cha 15 or more
Benefit: You do not need to spend "One full round" to cast "Entrance", but you can cast it as a standard action.
Furthermore you are able to entrance people of higher level.
The maximum HD you can entrance is equal to 6 or your scholar level (whichever is higher).
If you want to entrance higher HD victim you must spend one-full round (as per normal Entrance rules) for entrancing a victim of your scholar level+2.
Every other full round you wait you can add another +2 to the maximum HD.
Normal: Entrance needs one full round to work.
Special: If you like it, you can choose this feat in lieu of a New Sorcery Style.
If you have the "Adept" feat with Hypnotism you can cast "Entrance" as a move, standard or free action (your choice), allowing you to cast also another Hypnotism spell, which is an exception from normal "adept" rules.
For example, it allows you to cast a "Domination" on a subject you just entranced with your move action (entrance) in the same round.
With the "Adept" feat "Domination" is a free action, so if you have casted "Entrance" as a move action, you have still another standard action to use in the same round (but not for a third spell).

LUCA, good idea for a new feat.
They have Hexer and summoner, so why can't there be one for hypnotists!
