spell skill system

**Foxx!** · Feb 19th, '04, 03:35 PM

Heroes:

I'm refining a spell skill system, and I'm considering some rules I created. Please share any comments.

1: spell skill cost = AC/10.
2: spell level cost = RC/10.
3: Every spell must have at least -1 in Limitations and a skill roll, both with no RC reduction. Every extra -1/2 adds +1 to the skill roll and reduces the RC.

(edited after trying out the system)

Cheers

Why not try something like

9+INT/5 w/ Specific Spell Skill: 3 pts
+1 to roll: 2 pts

Multiply Skill Roll by 5 to determine how many Active Points are allowed in Spell for that Caster.

11 = 55 AP, 20 = 100 AP, etc

All Spells require the Skill Roll for no Lim -- it's illogical to let them buy the Spell via a Skill purchase and then make the spell cheaper by applying RSR IMO.

The Roll suffers a penalty based upon the RC/10 rather than the usual AP/10 -- thus highly limited Spells will have a higher chance of going off than lightly limited spells -- kind of self adjusting as it were.

Hmm... I actually kind of like this.

What to call it?

That is a really cool spell system.

I like this. It seems to be a pretty elegant system. Of course I think our Fantasy Hero GM (Eosin) already has a pretty good system as well.

Thanx!

Actually Eosin and I have been mildly trading compliments -- his world looks like its shaping up to be pretty cool, and similar enough to my own Machtig campaign that I may end up swiping from him

Killer Shrike:

Thanks for the advice. I like how your system has AP level directly related to skill roll level.

Where can I see Eosin's system?

Cheers

So, Im going to call this Magecraft for now, because it fits a niche I need in my coverage of magic systems.

Magecraft: Skill based Magic System. Each Spell is paid for as a skill with an associated roll. Each Spell Skill is a INT based Skill (9+INT/5) costing 3 pts; each +1 to that Skills Roll costs 2 pts. Alternately, a Mage may buy an 8- Roll with a Spell Skill as a Familiarity for 1 point.

A Mage may apply Overall Skill Levels or Skill Levels with INT Based Skills to their Magic Skill Rolls (unless it is a 1 point Familiarity), but may not buy Skill Levels with Spells as a "Tight Group" unless they only have a handful of Spells at the GM's discretion.

To determine how many Active Points are available to each Spell Skill, multiply the Skill Roll by 5. Thus an 8- Skill Roll indicates that 40 Active Points are available to that Spell, an 11- Skill Roll indicates that 55 Active Points are available to that Spell, and a 20- Skill Roll indicates 100 Active Points are available. Each Spell does not have to use the full Active Points Available to it. A Mage might buy their Skill Roll up without raising the Active Cost of the Spell to increase their probability of success for example.

All Spells require the a Skill Roll with the Spell Skill itself for no Limitation value to be cast. No Spell may take the Required Skill Roll Limitation on a Spell to indicate the associated Spell Skill, but RSR may be used to indicate that another Skill or Characteristic Rolls are required in conjunction with the Spell Skill Roll.

The Spell Skill Roll suffers a penalty based upon the Real Cost of the Spell divided by 10 rather than the usual Active Points divied by 10. Thus highly limited Spells will have a higher probablity of success than lightly limited spells.

Mages may use a Magic Endurance Reserve with GM's Permission, but must define all of their Spells as using the Magic Endurance Reserve if they have one. The Standard "May Use Either Personal END or END Reserve" +1/4 Advantage may be used in this case on individual Spells where desired.

Using this system the following guidelines apply:

1) No Spell may be on Charges.
2) All Spells must either cost END by default or take the "Costs END" Limitation; the -1/4 Limitation "Only Costs END to Activate" is appropriate in this case.
3) Spells may take Reduced END.
4) All 0 END or Costs END only to Activate Spells must have a defined termination, expressed either as a duration or a specific and reasonably common event.
5) Spells may not be imbedded in a Focus, but may require an item to be cast; use Restrainable instead of Focus in these cases.
6) No Concious Control and Independent may not be taken on any Spell.
7) Spells must have at least -1/2 in Limitations.
8) A Mage must know at least 3 Spells and spend at least 15 points on Spells.

He comes from a long line of Mages and can trace his lineage back to the Witchlord Gorshan Murfon. He, like most of his anceastors, practices Magecraft and shows a reasonable talent for it, able to master 3 spells before he was yet 18, and has learned six more since. Doran is particularly well know for the advanced levels he has acheived with his mastery of Mystic Bolts. If he had only been born two centuries sooner, all would probably have been well for him. However, as he was born and was learning his craft from his father, the newfangled study of Wizardry was sweeping the lands that were once Vorgaa. Wizards, with their disciplined approach and least-common-denominator classifictions of magic quickly supplanted the traditional practitioners of Magecraft. Instead of a life of scholastic pursuit spent mastering his skills and perhaps acheiving his dream of becoming a professor at a Arcanotorium, Doran found himself the but of jokes and disparagement from upstart young Wizards. Finally, after his father passed away, Doran just couldn't take it anymore and challenged a particularly insulting ass named Orfolt to a Mages duel. The arrogant Apprentice accepted the duel and was promptly blasted into oblivion by Doran's Prepared Jolt followed quickly by a Mystic Bolt. Orfolts smug classmates, anticipating an easy victory for their fellow Wizard, stood around with their mouth's agape staring at his badly burned corpse. Doran expected some praise or adulation for his obvious power, but as the weeks wore on all he got was shunned. Now instead of taunting him, the young wizards just ignored him. Plus the teachers at the school were not happy about the slaying of one of their best students and several made it plain that legal or no, should Doran decide to get into a duel with another student he might find himself facing one of their mentors instead in the duelling circle. Doran realized he was never going to get anywhere in Ieshali, for the taint of Wizardry had spread from border to border in just a few short decades, and the old ways were no longer respected. His only hope for the power and adulation he deserved lay outside in the world beyond. If he traveled into lands untouched by Wizardry his Magecraft would allow him to reign. Better a big fish in a small pond.... And so he has set out, leaving all the nations that once were Vorgaa behind, and heading into the lands of the Kor-vashi and the Undari looking for a place to settledown and carve a fiefdom out for himself.</td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td bgcolor="white" align="left" colspan=2>Powers/Tactics: Doran has a decent complement of spells, several offensive, a couple of moment and a couple of defensive.
