Okay I just got the Grimoire and Now my Players
want to start new characters.
I have a question regarding Elemental Adepts.
The Grimoire pg. 33:
"The adept may only cast spells or conjure spirits
associated with that element (for example, a fire adept
may only cast elemental effect (fire) combat or damaging
manipulation spells"
Then, later:
"Earth - Manipulation (Physical, matter-based only)
Fire - Combat (any, as long as no other elemental
effect other than fire is involved)"
My question is can fire adept cast manipulation spells?
Also, Could an Earth adept cast something like barrier. It
is a physical spell but, in the description it says that the
caster creates a field of crackling _energy_. Argh!
To me, it seems like the first quote gives way to much
power to fire adepts. DMs and combat - no way!
And, like the second quote takes to much power from the
Earth adept. My player wants to be an earth adept and I want
it to be fun for him. How do you think (opinions) I should
adjucate elemental adepts? Any tips.
Oh, and to my player that is reading this message don't
even think about asking me to give them superpowers!
