Games

Sorry to ask again without waiting for a reply, but else i'm going to forget.

If i want to have a power with one unique function, let's say, banish stuff, as above.

But i want to use it in slight variation.
Like:

a personal only, fast banish.

A standard ranged one target banish

A ranged AOE banish, with a flaw to balance.

Can i make it with variable effect?

But it doesent seem very effective...

The idea is to have the baseline, one target ranged banish, and two alternate mode like a "go first, self only"
And a "radius, go last"

What is the most efficient way?

Thanks Shane,

In Shadowrun, the more powerful the spell is, the more likely potential drain damage will occur as the magician manipulates powerful energy.

This is balanced in SR as the more skilled the magician is, the more likely they will resist the drain. It is burdensome and the overhead of SR is why we're not using the system.

I like the second option as it increases possible damage based on the dice rolled (power of spell) and reduces the amount of maximum drain damage based on skill (reducing # of possible loose dice).

It also makes magic much more dangerous for the weak-willed and unskilled...

Anything else I'm missing here?

Sounds cool. But basing it on loose dice means the better the shaman is -- the larger the dice pool -- the more often he or she takes damage. That sounds likely to frustrate the player more. And calling for a separate skill roll for every spell sounds burdensome. I don't remember Shadowrun magic well enough to make a solid recommendation, but you could ditch the Endurance roll and make it loose dice but only if the spell roll fails. Or if an awesome spell should hurt more, than maybe only if its Height is greater than the shaman's Command + Endurance dice pool or something.

Hi all,

I'm running a game of Shadowrun using Wild Talents and am modelling the different aspects (Magic, Cyberware, Adepts and Martix/Cyberspace) using WT miracles with required extras and flaws depending on the power type.

The players all love the setting and system, except for the Shaman, who doesn't like how magic has been converted over. A big part of the problem is how I've handled drain - feedback magicians can take when channelling magic.

Drain: The effort of manipulating mana can exhaust or even injure a magician. As mana is a form of energy, channeling greater quantities of that energy may strain the body and mind. The effect of this strain is referred to as Drain.

Here's how I modelled it in WT to begin with.

NEW FLAW: Drain (-1): Every time you use your power, you take a point of Shock damage to the torso (or whatever counts as your core hit location).

Based on feedback (the player doesn't like rolling and when magic is unsuccessful but even more, he hates taking damage each time he uses his powers), I've come up with the following work around.

I wanted to try and find a One Roll option, but couldn't figure out an elegant option.

NEW FLAW: Drain (-1): When you roll dice for a power with the drain flaw, each loose die of 6 or higher (called Flare) inflicts a point of shock damage. This damage is summed and can be resisted by a Command + Endurance roll in which each point of width reduces the damage by one. All shock damage received from drain is applied to the torso (or whatever counts as your core hit location).

I'd love any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks!

With the if/then "only for wand" i was inntending only for variable effect and also only for building wand. Using 2 if/then was looking too good.

For delayed effect i copied it form the gadgeteer power. Is it wrong or errata'ed?

Boosting the occult skill was something i was thinking about. And spray seems realy good!


Another idea i was thinking about, was using a power to go and send people in a shadow realm. The idea is thah you still percive the other realm, but could not interact in any way with the other.

The problem i have is:
Is enough to have a useful power to send stuff in the other dimension?

Or should i buy an attached power of aromr, as high as possible, to rapresent the inability to hurt target across dimension? Like 10HD of armor with if/then "only across dimension"?

Dear Go Players,

Our Monthly Ratings Tournament is this Sunday, Nov. 5., with registration from 10 -10:45 am. It's time to find out if
your fall study program is making a difference!

Since this is a regular monthly tournament, with no prizes, there is no tournament fee. You do have to pay for your visit
to the Go Center, with $5 cash or a punch on your 10 visit card, if you are not a youth or voting member. Please also
make sure that your membership with the AGA (American Go Association), our national organization, is up to date.

Thanks to the AGA "Rewards Program", the AGA chapter will be treating tournament players to free lunch! It will
probably be pizza, and Nick Wilmes will be organizing the order at the end of registration. Thanks Nick!

More information on the tournament can be found on our events calendar:

Cheers,
Brian Allen
