I'll buy mine this evening. Concerning the spell mentioned...what is it? Not the infamous orgasm spell, is it? :D |

Sweet, that'll really distract the guards. How about a mass ecstacy spell? Can you imagine the after action report for the base personnel? 'At 1:45 am, you were doing what exactly?' 'We, were all... uhm... uh...'

You are kidding. Aren't you? :rotfl: Imagine the possibilities. Try to sustain that spell for half an hour... |

The real interesting question is, will mages be able to resist casting it on themselves?
"Ok Gandalf, scout the area astrally. Gandalf? Gandalf? [notices the smile and vacant look on Gandalf's face] Oh ffs Gandalf not again" In fact, they'll cast it on themselves, sustain it until they pass out, recast when they wake up, repeat until death. |

On the other hand, spells like Bugs/Swarm are much uglier.

That depends on the preferences of the caster.

And while those security know they should be trying to resist that orgy spell, they might not want to. "But boss, he had a spell on us"

Nothing can be uglier than a multiple hour application of the Orgy spell. |

I assume the spell is an illusion? If so: No.

I think I speak for the devs and the authors when I say: thanks, that's best type of praise you can ask for. :D

Only one thing is lacking, apet powers that are effective with melee wepons not unarmed that dont require other skills.

I think he is refering to an Adept power that can juice up a sword somehow. Like Killing Hands, Distance Strike, and Elemental Strike does for Unarmed.
EDIT Nerve Strike, Penetrating Strike, and Smashing Blow are also likely candidates of his envy. |

Oh yes , i just dont like how there are making you fight unarmed if you want to have cool powers. If you can light your hands on fire why cant you light your sword on fire, especially if its a weapon focus. |

Because your hands are a part of you, and a sword isn't. Adepts are all about (symbolically) affecting themselves, not the world around them, with their powers. They can boost their strength, but not their buddy's. They can wrap themselves in mystic armor, but not their pal. They can heal their own wounds faster, but not someone else's (traditionally).
Internal usage of power? Adept. External application of mystical force? Mage/Shaman. |

"Killing Hands" and "Smashing Blow" is basically turning your hands into real weapons. So they would be redundent with a real weapon.
BTW there is one power that you can use your sword with, Inertia Strike. |

Anyone else get a chuckle out of the newly introduced mentor spirit, Artificer?
And, what do you know, they (sort of) explained the wacky flooding pattern of LA. |
