Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
I have the luxury of staying mostly safe for most of a fight, often engaging on my terms, after evaluating the encounter (while the SM is getting his teeth kicked in) and chosing the right response. I can fight a depleted encounter, while the SM fights the entire thing, often on the enemies terms, s...

Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
well, i guess if eating a bunch of strain every turn on top of having a low physical defence and a low health pool is working out for you, i can't say it's wrong, but man... that looks like it is just going to backfire spectacularly to me. i could see that being viable as a last-ditch thing where o...

Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
Well, melee is a backup plan for sure, but you're forgetting a lot of things in your analysis. Melee weapon skill yes, but also second weapon, and second attack come as skills. Then we have aggressive attacks, which don't work on spells, and don't detract from a Shield Mist enhanced avoid blow. Fina...

Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
You could have the GM rule that the spirit is on some kind of 10 yards leash. In other words, it cannot move out of range, no matter what your order is or how much you move. However, if the order you gave it means he cannot reach the target because its further than 10 yards away, it would just 'do ...

Re: AbUsing Summon Ally Spirit.
2. The target has to be loyal, so it would technically be a question about my characters loyalty to the spirit. I disagree, the description of the talent states: ' The adept transfers damage between himself and a Loyal character or creature. ' thus its a question of how the other character/creature...

Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
well, apart from a relatively small amount of legend points, you get a pretty reliably useful buff out of the other spell that fits into the same matrix. so it doesn't really need to be constantly useful. but i do think lots of times 10 yards will be sufficient. an aura of "don't come within 10 yar...

Re: AbUsing Summon Ally Spirit.
2. The target has to be loyal, so it would technically be a question about my characters loyalty to the spirit. My character is about as white Nethermancer as they come, and her ultimate goal is to secure an alliance between spirits and Namegivers (DM said to set some lofty meta goals), so forcing s...

AbUsing Summon Ally Spirit.
Having recently hit 5th Circle Nethermancer I've run into all kinds of issues. I have a great DM, and he let's us do all sorts of nifty things, if they're good for the story, but I like having the actual rules in place before I ask him to bend them. I've been using the Summon Ally Spirit quite a bit...

Re: Questions for movement: Summon Bone Spirit
I've more or less reached the same conclusion. It's simply not worth it. I was just hoping someone knew something I had missed, that would make it workable
