[steph]

Hey guys just a little question.The gm of my game want all spells with this limitation extra time limitation: extra phase -3/4...........so my question is if my character got a spell with shrinking and i want to use it in a abort maneuvers for protection again a attack is impossible? because of the extra phase.........

Matter of interpretation as far as I see it.

A strict interpretation would say that you see no shrinking effect until the extra phase is spent. No use for defensive abort in this case.

A compromise might be that you can use it but you get 1/3 of the DCV effect that the full shrinking would provide due to the short space of time and limited shrinking.

A player friendly response would be that you get the full benefits but that you have spent the rest of the extra phase getting to a stable shrunken state.


Best to discuss with the GM and see what their interpretation is, that's the one that will count...
