Recently, after a short two year stint playing a Samurai, I began
playing a Street Shaman. I'm really enjoying him, even though I've
never really been all that fond of magic. The thing is, after
building up a 1000+ Karma with a Samurai, there's never anything to do
with it anymore, except save all the mages in the group from dying
(they use their Karma for building their characters). But as a
Shaman, I've found that you can never have enough Karma, because
their's always something new you HAVE to do to increase your
character's power in some way.
Anyway, the point of all of this is that I have an idea I want to run
by you all. Right now, my character, Omen, is saving funds and karma
to build/bond a weapon focus. My question is about the type of focus
I want to build.
My idea is based on a rather antiquated weapon, the 3 balled flail. I
was tired of all the damned magic swords all over the place, and
wanted to be original. My question is this: I wanted to anchor
spells onto the balls of the flail. Three separate spells on three
separate balls. Perhaps Firestrike on the first, Lightning Bolt on
the second, and Acid Stream on the third. I wanted to make it so that
with a pre-determined number of successes, 1 to 3 of the balls would
hit a given target, and each spell would go off on impact.
Maybe:
1-4 Successes = one ball
5-6 Successes = two balls
7 + Successes = all three balls/spells
What do you all think? Does this sound workable? Too powerful?
