I have a question for you all, maybe you can point out what I am missing. Going through the Spell Design section in Magic In The Shadows, I was attempting to create a spell that affects both reaction (+2) and initiative (+1D6). The only drain modifier I could find that fits was Affects Initiative (+1 Drain Level). The text of the modifier is as follows:
The problem I am having is comparing a few spells. Increase Reaction has a Drain of +1S which enhances Reaction by one-half your spellcasting successes (max bonus of the spell's Force), while Increase Reflexes is a staged spell (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) ... I can see how Increase Reflexes works, as you add a Drain Level per each dice added, yet Increase Reaction works differently. How many times should I apply the Affects Initiative drain modifier? I know I would do so at least once for the extra initiative dice, but how many times for the enhanced reaction attribute? Especially considering I want it to be a fixed result... Opinions? Help? Quotes? :D |
