This came up in a game recently and caused a big "discussion".
As I remember the rules they say that the critter must be on the same plane and within LOS to use most powers but that sustaining the power doesn't require any effort by the critter. I'm paraphrasing I know but I don't have the rules handy right now I'm afraid. However, consider a spirit who conceals/moves a party then dematerializes and travels hundreds of kilometers away on the astral plane. Can the spirit still maintain the power? As far as I've been able to determine the rules don't prohibit it but it conflicts with the way I imagine things working. Any thoughts anyone? |
