Yesman Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hello, I'm away from my books at the moment, and was wondering if someone could please spend a moment to look over this spell to make sure the crunchy bits match the intended effect, and that it's not blatantly illegal (I'm running the game, so I can be a little off .. ..) A point I may have immediately noticed myself.. are RSR penalties based off of the highest AP in a compound power, the total AP, or require a roll against each power? Absorb Mystical Energies Cost to Learn: 12 End to Cast: 8 Time: 1 Full Phase Skill Penalty: -8 Range: 185" The wizard summons a field of magical protection around herself and up to 7 allies. The field has a Power of 3d6, rolled when the spell is cast. While protected by a field a character has 1/2 the Power of the field as resistant defenses vs. Magical Energy attacks, and regains up to the Power of field in End from any Magical Energy attacks. The power of the field fades away at 5 points per Turn, but the field can be "strengthened" by repeated castings to a Power 18. Maintenance of this spell is extremely taxing and requires the caster to weave convoluted gestures and maintain a steady chant, this complexity of action reduces the caster's DCV to 0 while she is maintaining the spell. A set of rune-carved fingerbones is expended with the casting of this spell. Cost** Power END 12** (Total: 78 Active Cost, 12 Real Cost) Absorption 3d6 (energy, End), Ranged (+1/2), Usable Simultaneously (up to 8 people at once; (+1 1/4) (41 Active Points); OAF Fragile Expendable (Difficult to obtain new Focus; -1 1/2), Requires A Skill Roll (Black Sorcery; -1/2), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2), Concentration (0 DCV; -1/2), Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2), Gestures, Requires Gestures throughout (-1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4), Limited Phenomena (Magic; -1/4) (Real Cost: 7) plus Armor (0 PD/9 ED), Ranged (+1/2), Usable Simultaneously (up to 8 people at once; (+1 1/4) (37 Active Points); OAF Fragile Expendable (Difficult to obtain new Focus; -1 1/2), Limited Power Only up to half of the amount absorbed (-1), Concentration (0 DCV; -1/2), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2), Requires A Skill Roll (-1/2), Gestures, Requires Gestures throughout (-1/2), Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; -1/2), Linked (Absorption; -1/2), Costs Endurance (Only Costs END to Activate; -1/4), Limited Phenomena (Magic; -1/4) (Real Cost: 5)* 8 Powers Cost: 12 and I have got to think of a better name for this dog.....

Yesman Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Re: Could somebody check this spell for me? To save peoples vision, the limitations on both powers in the compound are largely the same. That's kind of the crux of the legality issue, I'm not sure if it's really double dipping or not with some of them (the gestures, incantations, etc...). I don't think it is.

ghost-angel Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Re: Could somebody check this spell for me? Looks good. Looks legal. Sounds like you hit the effect you wanted. I can't see anything wrong with it. It's legal to "double dip" like that, if both powers are limited in the same way then both should take the same limitations.

Snarf Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Re: Could somebody check this spell for me? I think the concentration is supposed to be Concentration (0 DCV, throughout; -1) for the effect you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesman Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Re: Could somebody check this spell for me? Something else I think I just noticed... a usable by others power like this has to have the End cost paid per character using the power right?

Markdoc Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Re: Could somebody check this spell for me? I don't think you pay END per user, just END based off active cost. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
