===Recurring Daily Spells===
The hell mother’s daily spells work a bit differently than those of other classes. The big difference is that the spell automatically repeats at the start of the hell mother’s next turn. Then, if the natural attack roll of the recurring spell is even, the spell repeats again at the start of the hell mother’s next turn, and so on as long as natural even rolls come up.

In other words, the hell mother’s recurring daily spells always repeat at least once. They might repeat again on subsequent rounds depending on the natural attack rolls of the recurrences. Cast once, a hell mother’s daily spells aren’t as powerful as the daily spells cast by other spellcasters. Combine several rounds of effects and the fact that spells
recur as free actions, and the hell mother does just fine.

You can only have one recurring daily spell active at a time and casting a second such spell ends the first. So of course you aren’t likely to cast a second recurring spell until the first spell has ended ‘naturally.’

'''Use the first attack roll:''' Some hell mother daily spells require multiple attacks. Use the first attack roll of a turn for a recurring spell to determine whether it recurs again.

'''Automatic repetition:''' The fact that recurring daily spells ‘automatically repeat’ is a bit different than how we usually do things. What we mean is that a recurring spell no longer requires an action being taken by the hell mother. The hell mother can be knocked unconscious or out of play using dark walk, or teleported away, or DEAD, and the recurring spell will keep getting cast as long as natural even attack rolls keep occurring. This mechanic models our notion that the hell mother has called up spirits who are operating somewhat independently.

One possible oddity comes from targeting. The hell mother herself isn’t recasting the spell, so she’s not going to be taking opportunity attacks from engaged enemies if it’s a ranged spell. And the attack isn’t coming from her, not really. To determine nearby targets, use the hell mother’s most recent location, or where she is lying unconscious, but don’t worry about line of sight and cover for the recurrences, since the spirits are flying around tearing things up on their own.
