Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

Its about 30 years old.

 

It was the first 3d6 combat game. I think.

The fantasy trip I'm guessing.

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

The Fantasy Trip? Though I don't think that's right, but I'm going off 25-30 year old memory there.

Neat lag we had there.

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

Well I want to sell potions to the group. So I plan to put an .hdp or hdc file together. If you guys could proof them for adv/disa and power in general, please let me know

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

I don't see why they should only be at range. I mean, sure, some of them I might WANT to be to close to when they go off...

 

But what if I'm pinned beneath the weight of a minotaur who is trying to bite my head off, so I shove a gem into his mouth and desperately kick up with all my strength to snap his jaws closed over it... and crushing it with his teeth?

 

Hm? Seems fun and dramatic to me, if quite risky.

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

Regarding the Limitations that runescience mentioned:

 

1) Gem must be broken on a Surface (-1/4)

 

I would drop "on a surface", and just have it as Gem must be broken. If you stuff it into the minotaur's mouth and can manage to break it, it works. If you're strong enough to crush it in your hand, it works. You'll probably take some effect though.

 

2) Cannot Be Used in hand to hand combat, Ranged only (-1/4)

3) Ranged only (-1/4) - must be throw?

 

 

These are almost the same, I think. I don't believe that items have to be ranged/thrown. I would used Range Based On STR -1/4. If you don't want to throw them away from you (such as the minotaur example) you may end up taking some of the effect. Your choice.

I'm going to have to dig out my TFT books.

[FireTiger]

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

I also could dig out my copies of The Fantasy Trip and the games that it came from (Melee & Wizard) if there's anything useful still to be mined from them.

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

I renewed the first posting. I added some potions in that I had problems with. TFT states that the recipient ignores all negative modifiers to combat after taking damage. This roughly equates to cant be stunned. Also the recipent acts like a killing machine, which is really the berserk disad. I started with a custom power 60 pt automaton stipulating no stun taken and added in a 10 pt disad to it as a berserk 14- in/ 8 out. Also put a drain on the characters str/bod etc after 12 hours. I wanted to run that by you guys.

 

The pyrotic ability lasts 2 hours, where the recipient can 1 hex start fires when/where he wants. Fire damage is cumulative, but i checked the 5 edition revised and it says that ranged spells are already considered cumulative. Im not sure how closely this matches 5th edition.

 

Comments on all spells gems?

Re: TFT style potions/Gems; feedback?

 

Here's a potion. Its gives the advantage of being able to throw a Trip spell. The effect as you may have guessed is that your opponent lands on his derriere

 

The other potion lets you spend ST pts or End in hero case to build a fire ball of different strengths. Im really not sure how to do that. It might seem to obvious for my little brain. There is a similar spell called magic fist which does d6-2 per St/End spent. I didnt know what to do with that either.
