Bigby's crushing hand

Bigby's crushing hand is an evocation spell that conjures a hand of force that can provide cover, shove, or crush opponents. It was presumably developed by Bigby.

Effect
This spell serves the same function as Bigby's interposing hand, except the hand can interpose itself, push, or crush one opponent that you select.

The crushing hand can interpose itself as Bigby's interposing hand does, or it can bull rush an opponent as Bigby's forceful hand does, but at +18 on the Strength check.

The crushing hand can grapple an opponent as Bigby's grasping hand does, but with a +12 bonus for the hand's Strength score (35). The hand deals 2d6+12 points of grapple damage (normal, not subdual).

Clerics who cast this spell name it for their deities -- Ilmater's crushing hand, for example.

Arcane Material Component
The shell of an egg.
