[RPM] RPM and Afflictions
Hi guys
Let's say I am an RPM Mage and want to make an affliction that puts all the enemies around me to sleep, should they fail their HT roll. Which is the correct way to do it: A) Lesser Strenghten Body - 3 Energy Affliction (Sleep +150%; Area 2y +50%; Emanation, -20%; Selective Area +20%) - 30+10+4+4=48 Energy B) Lesser Strenghten Body - 3 Energy Affliction (Sleep +150%; Emanation, -20%) - 34 Energy Area 2y, Exclude 7 Hex - 2+4=6 Energy Duration 10m - 1 Energy C) Lesser Strenghten Body - 3 Energy Affliction (Sleep +150%; Area 2y +50%; Emanation, -20%; Selective Area +20%) - 30+10+4+4=48 Energy Area 2y, Exclude 7 Hex - 2+4=6 Energy Duration 10m - 1 Energy Or in other words: When using Afflictions, do I add modifiers I could give using just the Affliction, just the PM rules or a combination of both? Cheers Onkl |

I used Strengthen Body because I thought of it as a buff for the pc who gets this ability, is that a crooked way to look at it? And the Lesser part is due to the Sword and Sorcery feel I'd like to accomplish, so this I think I won't change. Cheers |

If the caster wants to give this sleep area affliction to himself, he uses an affliction with Path of Mind. If the caster wants to give this sleep area to a friend, he uses altered trait? This time with Path of Body?$ Wut? |

If you're giving traits to people it would be a Greater Transform Body effect for exotic traits me thinks. That's how I do it in my games.

Re: [RPM] RPM and Afflictions
Ghostdancer, I'm sure this has been covered time and again, but if you alter someone's traits, and it gives them an ability, but the ability doesn't show on them, so nothing appears to have happened - why not Lesser? Or is it that the affliction you're giving them the ability to use has flashy special effects, and thus Greater?

In my own games I treat it as anything that a PC couldn't buy normally (e.g., you need special GM permission). So if I could buy DR 5 in the campaign it would be a Lesser effect, DR 6 or better would require a Greater one though.
