I was just thinking about how everyone says magic is so powerful, and what I've seen in game, and had an idea for a new house rule (new to me, anyway - someone else might have suggested it already).
Seeing as the more technologically advanced things get, the more resistant they are to magic, how about a scaling resistance threshold for characters who have less than 6 Essence? Like this: Essence 6.00-4.50 = Threshold 1 Essence 4.49-3.00 = Threshold 2 Essence 2.99-1.50 = Threshold 3 Essence 1.49-0.00 = Threshold 4 I haven't actually tried this or anything, but it seems like it might work... |
