Greetings! I have been pondering several kinds of new spell for a while, and one class of spells has come up that I thought I'd pass on to players for your...
Greetings Bob A suggestion would be to have the control spell work like a duplicate action, ie the controlled (victom) behaves just like the controler in that...
hi, im not convinced that control spells would be a good idea but if they are introduced i think that additional spell saves should be allowed if your...
Although it makes 'sense' in how a world would work, it's pretty drastic to have your character hijacked and run off to kill everybody else! So I'd vote for...
For the record, I am not supportive of the charm spells -- never have liked them much. As a DM/GM I always severly truncated their effects, much to the initial...
I too would vote "please don't". Games with turns run over a period of time - and by computer - I feel simply don't work well if you take control away from the...
Hmm... there've been a lot of interesting ideas, here. Thanks, many times over. I agree with several peoples' comments that control spells hurt the character...
Can't-attack or Fear seems pretty good, for PCs and NPCs alike. I like that a lot more than a pure control! And summons are fun -- would they be actual...
Hiya, This is a more workable version of the spell - but I still don't like idea of loosing control of my PC on Phase one and not being able to react until the...
Respectfully... I disagree. Wayne Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: "Jon F. Elliott" <tei@...> Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 16:07:38 -0700...
Hi, I completely agree with Paul. I am not a fan of even this more limited approach. "Control" o f actions is such a key element of non-face-to-face RP that I...
I'm getting the impression that some people have pretty strong feelings regarding this issue. I'll admit, I don't entirely understand them. What I'm hearing is...
Hi Bob, I presume that the main dislike players have with control spells is that any controlled PC will probably be inflicting damage on other PC's who will...
Spot on ... Hi Bob, I presume that the main dislike players have with control spells is that any controlled PC will probably be inflicting damage on other...
I think the problem arises from the format of the game. It is necessary for the player to take the resulting character position from the previous turn and then...
Can we establish that it would be fun for PC's to take control of NPC's? To me, the most favorable situation seems to be that PC's can control NPC's, but noone...
I believe this approach would largely avoid the downsides that I have seen with control spells. Good compromise. Cheers! Wayne Gildroy Bas van der Veer...
Hi, why? charm spells may make you like a guy, but they don't make you act out of alignment and you should get a bonus on your saving throw if asked to do...
I was on a Blackberry earlier and thumb typing limits the effectiveness and eloquence of communication. The below is very close to my own concerns. I have...
Yes, good. Although given the game mechanics, I suppose that an NPC-controlled sidekick would start acting on the NPC's behest immediately, but if a PC took...
... True. But it could be made so that when a creature is taken control of, its turn ends instantly. This would put PC's and NPC's at equal footing. Bas...
Actually, the way the similar (summon) spells work is that there are two kinds of spell. One summons an independent NPC that has a tendency to follow the...
Just in case there were any problems, I wanted to let everybody know that all of the 'turns are available' notices have been sent, and should arrive intact....
Hello Bob, Please check and see if you have my new email address? I don't think you have. Why? because I have'nt recieved a turn are avilable notices for the...
Rick: I'm assuming you managed to enter orders, so your account should be working. However, I'm willing to bet I don't have your email address, since it sounds...
For the record, I got my results for Grimil Ironbrow fine--the same as previously. I was in Columbus Ohio for Origins and am just catching back up. Cheers! ...
Rick: Thank you for sending the information I needed. Just in case there's still problems with the email address, I have changed it to the one you gave below....
With the last turn, a situation *almost* came up in which a character would have been drained to exactly 0 hits by a wraith. Traditionally, being killed by a...
