. The player wants to know if she can slough off the karma costs of quickening big increase attribute/initiative spells to other PCs. I don't think he (the player) really understands their drawbacks, but that's a whole other issue. Does she have to pay all the karma, or can another PC pay the karma especially when it benefits the other character directly? I guess we could use karma for cash for karma, but that would wreak the roleplaying mood he is going for.
Full Version: Who can pay for quickening and sustaining focuses?
My game has a dove shaman who is really no good in combat (just after) and wants to be more useful. Also, she has fallen in love with and married the troll .

If you're making the focus, then the party who will bond to the focus can pay the karma. If you're doing quickened spells, then you have to pay the karma costs. I don't know of anyway around that one, I'm afraid.
