Trait modifier - variable effect?
What's the modifier on a trait that instead of providing a fixed advantage, becomes variable based on a die roll?
For example, let's say I had a Sorcery spell that provided +1d bonus to ST for all purposes. How much would that cost? I know that you can convert each +4 to a die roll into an additional die, so would +1d ST be the same cost as +4 ST (i.e., 40 cp)? (Not including any power modifiers such as sorcery's -15%.) Also, what would a variable duration do the cost? Assuming that most Sorcery spells have a duration of 3 minutes, how would a duration of 3d seconds affect the cost of the spell?

I would suggest looking at the conversion of dice of damage to fixed point values for Innate Attack. The same ratios ought to be tolerably fair.

As for changing fixed into unfixed and using dice instead of a margin, I guess you'd do 2d6 per 7, so if 3 minutes is 180 seconds or roughly 25*7 (165) I guess it'd work out to 50d6 seconds, so reducing that to 3d seconds would be like 1/12 duration, so I guess you would get whatever -% that 1/10 duration is worth as the closest amount. |
