Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here
Though, if you wanted there to be a duration, and you wanted it to be slow to occur, you could probably do it as a straight up 'Greater Restore Body, 1 mon duration, 300lbs'
Over the duration of 1 month the healing part will be supplied by the body itself, so you only need the 'and the limb is fixed' Greater Effect This allows you to have 'You got your limb chopped off, it is really annoying and takes a while to get better', prevents them from having another Greater Restore body on them during the same time period, and is generally a nuisance! And it should be cheaper! And is about half the cost of Instant Regeneration, so, keeps the balance that exists in Magic between Instant and Not So Instant Regeneration Regeneration of the Slug - Grows a limb back, slowly, in a month. This Casting: Greater Restore Body (4) + Duration, 1 month (11) + Subject Weight, 300 lbs. (3). 54 energy (18×3). |

Thanks for the feedback, this is my first post of substance on this forum (been lurking for a while) and this was just as helpful as I've read for others time and time again. |

Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here
One of my upcoming players wanted to play an Alchemist using RPM who could make a paste that allowed for the reattachment of limbs, which I modeled using Injury Tolerance: Independent Limbs (Reattachment Only, -50%) [18].
So: Reattach Limb Spell Effects: Greater Restore Body Inherent Modifiers: Altered Trait, Injury Tolerance Greater Effects: 1 This spell/ointment allows you to take a severed limb and apply it to the stump to reattach it. This process takes a minute. Typical Casting: Greater Restore Body (4) + Altered Traits, Injury Tolerance: Independent Limbs (Reattachment Only) (18) + Subject Weight, 300 LBS (3). 75 energy (25x3) I decided against bumping up the duration because allowing it to last a minute for this one effect is more reasonable than letting it last 10 minutes, possibly allowing for multiple limbs to be reattached per spell/potion. They'll probably want to follow up with additional healing and this won't help if the werewolf eats your arm or something else destroys it entirely.

Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here
That's actually not a bad method either, I probably wouldn't use it for my own campaigns - but still not bad.

Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here
IDHMBWM - if I wanted to model my "Walking Possession Agreement" ritual as being based on "Altered Trait: Possession (Affects Others)" - how much would that "Affects Others" be worth as a modifier?
I.e., this ritual reverses the Possession advantage - it allows the subject to invite another mind to possess his body. Last edited by nick_coffin; 08-27-2014 at 07:30 AM. |

Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here
Because this is full-blown possession, not just communication with the dead. The idea comes from an adventure I'm writing for a convention - the PCs are paired with an "aide-de-camp" who carries a charm with Walking Possession Agreement on it. If the PC dies, the aide-de-camp breaks the charm, and the PC's mind will possess the aide's body allowing the PC to continue the adventure in the other person's body.
It allows me to kill off PCs with more or less impunity, without wrecking the adventure. ;-) Here's the current writeup of this ritual: Quote:
