Foci, Fetishes and AStral Plane
Earl <earl"meridian.es>
-------
This’ the way I’ve got to get clarified the matter of Spell Lock Foci
moreover when it comes that those foci hold increase (or decrease)
attributes spells. Let’s take a look to Joe Average. Joe is Coyote
Shaman, a low-grade one, indeed. He’s got all his attributes at 3,
his Essence and Magic are at 6 and he drives a Ford Americar.
>Hey, what daya mean with "a low-grade one" ? your mother’s butt is a
low-grade one ya dirty son of a ChumbaWamba. I’m DANGEROUS, man, and
my name means TROUBLE. Yet more, the Ford is my sister’s. I’ve got
an Aurora.
>Joe Average
>Yeah, boy, drink your milk and go to sleep.
>Jason Walks-the-Stars
Joe has realized that he’s ehm... just average -as a shaman, at
least-, and although he doesn’t admit it he decides to get positive in
doping tests, and casts an Increase Body +4 and an Increase Willpower
+4, both in Spell Lock Foci, so he will be able to resist opposition
spells and bullets. He’s tired of getting Nature Spirits laughing
when he calls them, so he gets an Increase Charisma +4, in a Spell
Lock Focus, too. Very well. Joe has Body, Willpower and Charisma at
7 when he has the Foci active, at a very good price of 270K¥ and three
Karma points (let’s suppose he knew the spells). Fine.
>Well, I told you I mean DANGER.
>Joe Average
Well, let’s see : when a spell is tossed towards somebody the spell
travels thru Astral Plane from spell caster and heading the target of
the spell, so it affects the target from his aura, but he resists with
his attribute, augmented or not.
So the spell targets the original attribute, and the objetive resists
with the aid of the spells he could have on him.
>so...
>Joe Average
>So you’re idiot.
>Candy
>Not so idiot, Candy. Frying Joe’s ass will be as easy as allways,
but at least he’ll be tougher.
>J. Whatalu
>What’s that J. Stand for , Whatalu ?
>Candy
>It stands for Joe, but I’ll use it again when somebody kicks Average
out of business at once. Nothing personal, Average.
>J. Whatalu
>Tell your mother
>Joe Average
Target Number to cast a spell on Joe (Average, of course) is 3 (his
original attribute), but he’ll roll seven dice to resist (his modified
attribute). When he casts a spell he resists the drain with his
new-brand Willpower of 7. Should he conjure a Nature Spirit he would
resist the drain with 7 dice, but he’ll compare his original Charisma
with the spirit force to have the drain code. But, what happens if
John HoHoHo throws a mana combat spell, area-affecting to Joe ?. As
the spell is an area one, and the foci have their auras well visible
in astral plane, they’ll be affected by the spell, too. So bad Foci
resist with their level, and bad news : Spell Lock Foci are level 1
foci. Target Number 1(2). A solo die to resist.
Well, at least Foci users have the option to assist their Foci with
their magic pools.
>That’s why Foci-abusers are considered little better magi that the
famous mouse. Actually, they should be considered non-pro. Spell
Lock foci are usefull, but they are so fragile. If you want to
protect them, you’ve got to undefend you or your pals, and they could
get very upset if they get attacked by an astral sniper and you forget
about they loved backs.
>Desplumado
>Damm, boy, you are right, Desplumado. Should the day you forget
about us again and I’ll get your fuckin’ back broken.
>Fever Macho Man
>Why ? What happened ?
>El Chino
>Forget, dude.
>Fever Macho Man
>Sorry, my children.
>Desplumado
FETISHES AND ASTRAL PLANE
What must do a mage to have the benefits of his fetishes ?. He must
touch them. It’s simple. They don’t work if you’ve get them inside
your pants and you don’t touch them (well, there are circunstances in
what you can touch them if they’re inside your pants, but I’m not so
sure if I can talk about that special ocasions).
>I get my Fetishes inside little bags, net-style, so I can get them in
my hand without having to look inside my pockets when I need them.
But it happens, I once went into trouble with a Sioux patrol, and one
of my partners, called Joe, had problems getting his fetiches out of
his pants. Really. He got them there because he "didn’t want nobody
to get them handy".
>Candy
>Oh, really ? I think they could be very handy inside my pants, should
you want, babe.
>Fever Macho Man
>Please, Candy, you told me it was forgotten... please please please.
>Joe Average
When a magician projects astrally (not when he changes perceptions) he
leaves his body behind, so he can’t use his beloved sack of carnal
sins. What happens then, if he wants to cast that needed spell that
needs an expendable fetish (those two dice are so beatiful and so easy
to get) ?. What a pity. He can’t. Thanks for coming. Get a Life.
>Can I use my loved sack of sins on your body next time you go
JumboJumbo, Candy ?
>Fever Macho Man
>Sure. And I’ll get my Wristbreaker fired inside your stomach, and
you don’t want where will it get inside your body.
>Candy
>Actually, I want.
>BastarD
