Hoard Servant

This spell is the draconic version of the standard unseen servant spell. Since the needs of a dragon are far greater than those of lesser races (according to dragons), a common unseen servant just does not possess the physical strength to fulfill its required tasks.

Unlike an unseen servant, a hoard servant's sole purpose is to tend the hoard of the casting dragon. In fact, the spell is cast on the hoard itself, binding the hoard servant to it for the duration of the spell; it can never move more than 10 yards away from the hoard without negating the spell. (Note that a dragon's hoard is treasure in a single location for the purposes of this spell, not secreted in a number of separate lairs.)

Once the spell is cast, the hoard servant polishes jewels and gems, separates and stacks coins, organizes chests and boxes, etc. It is stronger than a standard unseen servant and is able to carry 50 lbs. or push or pull 100 lbs. over smooth surfaces. It can also withstand more damage than an unseen servant, possessing 15 hit points instead of the usual 6. A hoard servant is identical to an unseen servant with regard to its limitations and means of destruction.

This spell is particularly favored by metallic and gem dragons, both of whom seem more interested in the appearance of their hoards than do other dragons.
