Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
I have a player in a DF game who wants to get a little more out of his archer. He wants to add Imbuements to his abilities, but since he's a Scout, he wants to use DX instead of IQ for the Imbuement skills. I'm inclined to allow it, but would this be imbalanced, or infringe on the magic users' niche?

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
Imbuement skills are already DX by default...

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
There's the Mystic Knight and Mystic Knight Lens from Pyramid v3 #13 that is explicitly intended to let a character use DX-based Imbuements.
I think there's also a variant Scout called the Mystic Scout that uses Imbuements, but I can't find it in my Pyramid collection.

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
Nereidalbel is correct; Imbuement skills already DX-based skills.
However, if your GM has decreed that Imbuements are IQ-based (either because of insufficient understanding of them or because it makes more sense to him; I can see the logic of the latter), there is also an Attribute Substitution Perk in Power-Ups 2: Perks, which admittedly has to be bought once per skill. Fortunately for skills which require specialization (like Imbuements), it covers all specializations of the skill.

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
Following up this question, is it possible to use Attribute Substitution (IQ to Will or DX) on a normal spell?
Haste/Great Haste based on Will or DX sounds quite good for for martial artists or any other DX guy. Last edited by Sorenant; 04-22-2015 at 03:55 PM. |

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
I think that the enhancement Based on (Attribute) is legit for Imbuement, for +20%.

Re: Imbuement and Attribute Subsitution
This thread has a discussion of the reasonability of IQ based imbuements, by no less a luminary than Kuroshima, writer of the DF Mystic Knight
