That's the Innate Attack advantage. Which has nothing to do with this - the skill "Innate Attack" (confusingly the same name) doesn't determine range and ACC and ROF, the source of the attack does. That source can be a spell in the standard magic system, an advantage (not just Innate Attack, but also an Affliction, or various other things with the Weaponized limitation), or a ritual from the MH ritual magic system.

So the basic assumptions of the Innate Attack advantage (while reasonable) aren't actually part of this.

While that's true, RPM does assume the "standard" Innate Attack stats. As I've said before, I hope that interest in RPM grows enough to give me me the future opportunity to expand the system into a book of its own, so that I have the room to spell this sort of thing out in full detail.

That would be wonderful. Right now for ritual magic there's just the one thing in Thaum, and Monster Hunters... (and the oddly named ritual magery, but that doesn't count)

I know this is a very old thread PK, but I am confused. Would it not be Greater Create Energy AND Lesser or Greater Control Energy as well? It says that to conjure an energy and then throw it you require control as well or it will burn your hands, drop to the floor, etc., correct?

And the Malediction Fatigue drain would be Body not Energy right? Fatigue is not an energy source.

Sorry I am just now getting into RPM and I want to make sure I am on the right path. Sorry for the bad pun haha.

You should probably PM PeeKitty your question and then put the answer in here. Probably faster than waiting for him to maybe see the thread got bumped.

Nope. Only a single Greater Create Energy effect is required. You conjure it in your hand and then throw it mundanely. It's assumed that the spell won't burn you as part of the spell since you are the subject of said spell.

Fairness to you I've been away from the forums for sometime now. It's easy to forget someone who doesn't post often.
