Re: RPM Magery Limitation: Can't use Greater Effects

With no underlying mandatory trait, there's nothing you can apply Limitations to, nor is there anything you can "sell off" during character creation if you wish to create a character who absolutely cannot use magic, in exchange for a modest bribe in CP. It doesn't have to be a big deal. In fact if it is a big deal, almost all players making non-casters would take that disad without hesitation. But a trait casting 10 CP could be a good basis for Limitations, and would not significantly increase the template cost, relative to the 400 CP totals in the core PDF. |

Re: RPM Magery Limitation: Can't use Greater Effects
And there's one group that has an absolute monopoly on interaction with these gods. That sounds extremely odd to me, that heresies and breakout sects cannot work at all, in an absolute sense.

EDIT: Well, I guess he does say "cannot be acquired in any other way", which does sound a bit too absolute. Still, those who leave the order after achieving that rank could potentially impart the knowledge (or the ritual required to access the secrets) to their students. |

*shrug*
That's the way the gods want it. You have a problem with that, take it up with them. I'm sure they will be happy to listen. There are other ways to work magic in other cultures, of course. But in this culture it's Ollave or nothing.

That sounds disturbingly absoute to me. Not just "a bit". There may be other religions in Asta's world, but none like this one. For this particular religion, this particular "shape" of religion, a "druidic" shape, the Order has a total monopoly on the religious truth of the religion (of that kind of religion). Their interpretation is 100% correct and is the only correct interpretation. Alternative druids cannot exist in that world. Well... I just find it to be a very, very odd style of worldbuilding. |
