So, I've been reading up on spirits lately. I've never really gave them much thought.
I've got a "Conjurer" concept in mind, except I don't want to use spirits in combat much. I'm afraid of messing with game balance truthfully. A decent force spirit seems a bit too much. I've decided to role play that he won't use them materialized in combat out of respect. So my concept is a Shinto guy that summons and binds spirits, but simply uses their powers. An example is instead of an invisibility spell, use a service and have a spirit conceal me instead. Nothing too different there, but reading up has got me wondering. What about other powers? Like immunity to normal weapons, or natural weapon? Can I burn up services and have the spirit allow me use of this power like it would with others? I can't find anything specific on this, it's not character breaking if I can't. Thanks for any advice. |
