HappyCat Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'm trying to create a spell that will give a temporary OCV bonus to a particular weapon. So, for example, you cast the spell on the weapon and it gets +3 OCV for a few minutes or some such. But I'm not quite sure how to put it together. Normally to boost something for a few minutes you'd use Aid, so nearest I came up with was 2d6 OCV Aid where each 2 points rolled gives +1 OCV (as a 2 point CSL). But it doesn't feel right giving the weapon CSLs. I'm actually tempted to dump the idea of boosting the weapon and just make it a DEX Aid on the wielder (for OCV only), but giving the boost to the weapon is more in the flavour of my magc system. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Hero Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'd use the UBO (Usable By Others) Advantage with CSLs (note that 5-point CSLs are the minimum level that can have Limitations): Bladebless: +2 OCV (10 Active); OAF Weapon (-1), 1 Continuing Charge of 5 minutes (-3/4) (4 Real) Cast Bladebless: Apply UBO (+1/4) to Bladebless (5) Every time the character invokes Cast Bladebless, the affected weapon has +2 OCV for 5 minutes. Tweak to taste. Math note: IDHMBIFOM, so the -1/2 Continuing Charge value may be wrong. Edit: The original continuing charge value was incorrect (now corrected); however, the real point cost was not affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks excellent - thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Hero Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 (blushes) Thanks! I actually discovered that method pre-FREd while trying to recreate the Spirit Magic system from Runequest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCUBA Hero Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Nothing on tap, but I can post something from my notes. Look for a new 'Runequest Magic' thread later today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
