Hello All,
You will find attached a new form I have created for the LotR RPG. With the sheer number of picks that can be spent on a single spell, I put together this form to keep track of what the magician/wizard may do with it.
It will be part of the upcoming issue of Hall of Fire, but before it is released, I would love a little constructive input. So please take a look, read through the bullets below and tell me if you see any changes that would make it better.
- The top box is for a player to input their total number of Advancement picks spent on Spellcasting, or Wizard's spellcasting. They should enter the data to look like this: 4 (20), where 4 is the advancements and 20 (4 x 5) is the total of spell picks purchased.
- Spell methods - list the methods that you have chosen through purchasing the Order ability when spending Advancement picks.
- Spell methods - list the methods that you have chosen through purchasing the Order ability when spending Advancement picks.
- Spell Name and Total picks - enter here the spell name and the sum of all picks spent on the spell including the initial cost of the spell.
- Brief Description - write down any pertinent information you like handy so you don't have to keep going back to the Core Rule Book.
- Increased effects - write here any increased effects that you may have purchased for the spell and enter the picks spent to acquire increases. These picks will be included in the sum of all spell picks for that spell.
- Ease of use or Ability - check off any boxes for picks spent to ease the use of the spell or to make them an ability. The cost for doing so is the 3 + 3 + 4 numbers along the bottom. These picks will be included in the sum of all spell picks for that spell.
- Casting Bonuses - write in all bonuses that you may receive to any tests related to the spell, and any picks cost, in this section from Order Abilities or by spending additional spell picks. These picks will be included in the sum of all spell picks for that spell.
After you have entered the particular information, balance your sheet to the top number of allowable picks. The sheet should prove a handy reference to the player in seeing where he or she can enhance a spell, or what they can do with it once they have spent additional picks.
Gimme any other suggestions that you think may help...
Thanks!
