[DF19]: Mystic Mist as an Incantation
I’m trying to build an Incantation version of Mystic Mist, and it seems to have a couple of things not foreseen in the rules.
The mist part is pretty straightforward, if expensive: Destroy Protection (+5) Bestows a -10 penalty on Vision rolls (+64) Bestows a -4 penalty on attack rolls (+40) I’m assuming that “attack rolls” counts as a broad category, like defense rolls. The Fright Check starts out simply enough; Control Mesmerism (+5) is explicitly called out as allowing one to cause a Fright Check, but how to account for the cyclical/persistent nature of the effect, since it keeps happening for the entire duration of the spell? |

Control Mesmerism (+5) Duration: 1 hour (+7) Area: 4 yards (+40) For a total of 52 spell points. Adding those modifiers would multiply the total by 170%, for a total of 85 points. |

Re: [DF19]: Mystic Mist as an Incantation
That's how I'd do it most cases. If you're not the GM, get with them because this is going a bit far a field for Incantation Magic.

Re: [DF19]: Mystic Mist as an Incantation
Well, I probably will be the GM next time our group does a fantasy game, so it’s a question of how far afield I wan to go.

Re: [DF19]: Mystic Mist as an Incantation
In that case, this is probably your best bet unless you just want to fiat something.

Re: [DF19]: Mystic Mist as an Incantation
Ultimately, I decided I was overthinking things. The spell now looks like this:
Destroy Protection (+5) Control Mesmerism(+5) Bestows a -9 penalty on Vision rolls (+56) Altered Traits, Phobia (the fog, CR 6) (+9) Range, 15 yards (+5) Up to 12 hours (+7) Area Effect 8 yards (+80) The range parameter is to let the Phobia affect beings outside of the fog itself, but I probably want to replace that with a vision-based trigger. |
