Q: Mental effects & effect roll modifier

[daman_asha]

1. Does the effect roll modifier (APG p66) apply to each level of effect for Mental Powers that use them?

 

2. How does this affect Mental Blast?

Re: Q: Mental effects & effect roll modifier

 

1. I'm not sure I understand the question. What I think you're asking is this: does the Effect Roll modifier rule (APG 66) increase as the required Effect Roll increases -- for example, +5 at EGO +10, +10 at EGO +20, +15 at EGO +30, and so on? The answer to that question is no -- the Effect Roll modifier (typically +5 or +10) is the same regardless of the declared level of effect the character's trying to achieve with his Mental Power.

 

2. Since Mental Blast doesn't have an Effect Roll like the continuing-effect Mental Powers, the Effect Roll modifier rule on APG 66 generally won't work with it. However, the GM could, if desired, adapt it by applying the modifier to the target's CON for purposes of determining whether he's Stunned by the Mental Blast.
