clone wounded spell

[steph]

Hi everyone and happy holiday... . I have a face questioning the legitimacy of a spell that one of my players wants to create . He wants to make a spell that would allow it to attack an opponent  by imitating the injury of another person . For example. The mage sees a person on the battlefield was wounded for - 8 body and a broken arm , it take that situation and replicates the same situation on a another target . It uses transform to do this …It is legal ? How to build that kind of spell ?

 

Clone wounded  spell:

Transform 8d6 : Major, Healed by magical and normal healing, (Transform a normal person into a replica of a wounded person in the LOS area ) 

AC 80

- Gesture -1\4,

- incantation -1\4

- concentration 1\2DCV -1\4

- Extra time: Full Phase -1\2

- Conditionnel : Must have a example of wounded person in LOS of the caster. -1

real cost 25

 

Hope i am clear

You could use transform, but probably a blast or KA with variable special effect would work just as well and be cheaper.  If you insist on having exactly the same effects, you might need a transform or 1 hex area effect that is limited to a single area on the target to mimic the precise effects.

[Outsider]

I would just go with the big KA, and have the limitations that you have to have a present example of the wound you want to create, AND if you fail to do enough damage, no wound is created.

 

If you do go with Transform, I would think it might be a Severe Transform, since the effect as described could easily result in "live person to dead person".

[Lucius]

I'd make it a Killing Attack vs Limited Defense (you have to figure out what the defense is of course and it's probably an All or Nothing) and a Limitation of "Someone within (whatever distance or area you decide) must be wounded, only up to lower of: damage done to wounded person, or proportional damage done to wounded person."

 

So if someone with BOD of 20 has taken a 10 BOD wound, you can't inflict that on a 5 BOD person to kill them outright; it will only do 2 or 3 BOD rounding down or up. But if the 5 BOD person has taken a 5 BOD wound and you want to inflict that on the 20 BOD person, they don't get a 20 BOD wound, just a 5 BOD one.

 

Other Limitations to consider:

 

Only can copy a given wound once.

 

Healing the original wound heals the copy (possibly the other way around too.)

 

Does no damage unless at least matches the original wound.
