eh, I'll get back to you in a couple months when my shaman can possibly cast it.
but my gut feeling is that I recall the drawback being worrying enough that I'd hesitate to use it.
overall, though, shamans do feel like extremely strong party buff characters.

Re: Stealth and Surprise
it would seem that the condition to apply when someone attacks from stealth after combat has begun would more likely be blindsided.

Re: Is it just me, or is Invoke Leopard Pounce really strong?
eh, well, you're the dev, so I guess that's what it was meant to say. that certainly does help, as it makes the knockdown chance considerably less likely to happen. still seems extremely strong for a 1st circle spell though.

Re: Is it just me, or is Invoke Leopard Pounce really strong?
a GM is safe ruling whatever they want (and in general I would support house rules to make this spell less powerful, since as I said it is above what I would expect a direct damage spell to do for its circle), but the spell says that "The Effect test determines how much damage is inflicted and the K...

Re: Is it just me, or is Invoke Leopard Pounce really strong?
Wow, it's even more powerful than read from your description. The Effect test determines how much damage is inflicted and the Knockdown Difficulty the target must resist. It's not just, that the spell forces a knockdown test against the damage taken, NO, it is against the effect test itself (and th...

Is it just me, or is Invoke Leopard Pounce really strong?
so as a rough outline, the spell forces a knockdown check, has damage that scales with extra successes, requires 0 threads, and is first circle. now, that isn't completely insane; if it were to, say, lose out on the damage scaling with extra successes or required 1 thread, I would think it was a pre...

Re: Key knowledge for "common" thread items
as to why more powerful magic is harder to detect... who says it's just blasting out magic energy all over the place? more powerful magic could be more powerful because it is more tightly woven and less of it "leaks" away uselessly. unless the magic has the specific purpose of drawing attention to ...

Re: Key knowledge for "common" thread items
for one thing, common is relative. only a small portion of the population can even use thread items at all. and not all of those who can use thread items will have any. for another thing, while I would say that I'm certainly familiar with some of the basics of the stories regarding excalibur, if you...
