Sorloc Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hello, How would one go about creating a spell that will run for a set length of time, then cease? Example: A glamour spell that makes someone look beautiful, or a love potion, or even a shielding spell Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Democracy Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 The problem with charge is that it limits how often you can cast the spell. You could, instead buy it as continuous, uncontrolled and buy it to 0 END then limit it with a time limit. That avoids purchasing huge amounts of END simply to keep the spell going.

Sorloc Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 that sounds that sounds good, up until the time where you say put a time limit on it. That's exactly what I'm asking about. How do you put a time limit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'd backrev the Time Limit modifier from 6e, myself. Doc Democracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 yeah, but if you dont have access to 6th? ? I think you have to look at the limitation guidance from the limited power limitation. How often is this likely to affect the character. That is likely to depend on how long you are inclined for that to be. Without looking at anything else my gut is to make anything over 5 minutes +1/4 limitation and anything above an hour a +0 limitation, applied only to persuade the GM to allow the uncontrolled, continuous, 0 END combo.

That's exactly what I'm asking about. How do you put a time limit on it. Limited Power, "Expires after [duration]." Use your judgement to set the value of the Limitation. archer and Christopher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
