Limitation on Aid

[Ryhope Wood]

Hi folks

 

I'm writing up a spell from the Conan RPG, where the master sorcerer gains power points to use in other sorcery from a ceremony conducted with his acolytes.

 

Each instance of the spell cast by the acolytes effectively transfers power points from their own END reserve to the master.

 

I have interpreted this as an Aid from the acolytes to the master and not a Transfer, since every acolyte must cast the spell separately. What value would you assign to the limitation "Only Where Power Points Are Available in Endurance Reserve". I was thinking about 1/2 since in a few cases this would actually cap the level of the Aid?

 

Thoughts appreciated,

 

Ian

I'd go for -1/4, the limitation would only be limiting rarely. However, for what you suggest, the Acolyte loses the same amount, correct? In that case I'd allow a minor side effect for another -1/4.

Hi Mark

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

I hadn't thought about using a Side Effect.
