Visualization: Group Bless

[lvalero]

...And the Dark Master said: Go my dear disciples! Go with my name and with my message. I bless your tonges! May the hearts be opened to the dark news of Morgadoth!

I am wondering how to model Visualization + Bless (Others) to a group of people instead of a single person.

I don't want multiple/different blessings, each at a time to different persons in different moments of time.

I want a single "moment of blessing" with a single message to a group.

This is the way I am modeling, but I would like to read other answers.

Bless in Group [10] + 9/level

The first level of Bless in group allows you to bless a single person other than yourself. This is modelled exactly as "Elder Blessing" in DF11 page 33:

Visualization[10]. (Blessing, Others Only, +0%; Divine, -10%) + Perks: Rules Exemption (Visualization bonus always at least +1) [1].

The rest of the levels are the same as "Elder Blessing" adding: "Accesibility -10%: All the blessed group must be present at the same time receiving the same bless"

Is this "accesibility" fair or should it be -20% or higher? Is there a different/better way to model that?

[ArchonShiva]

It seems really weird to use accesibility for "all targets of this ability must be targets of this ability".

Maybe build it as an area effect instead?

I'd use Area Effect, +50%/level for this. That would still mean that the first person to claim the blessing would end the effect – Visualization only affects a single roll of the dice. If everybody gets one use, I think I'd stack some form of Cosmic on there . . . I might even do something slightly weird like apply Cosmic not to Visualization but to Area Effect: Area Effect (Cosmic, Not all-or-nothing for everybody in area, +100%), +100%/level.

Ouch! Cosmic makes sense, but leveled cosmic like that seems awfully steep

Thanks for the build! I thought about "Area" enhancement but I was not sure. But "Cosmic Area" sounds good!

It does allow you to effect multiple rolls. you can effect the whole party for 20 points. I'd call it a good deal.

If the whole party is right next to you . . . that's a trick

Yeah, In some ways in might be fairer to put the cosmic on visualization and then add the area effect ...

Except that visualization takes a full minute in the first place. Which means getting everyone within the same 10 by 10 space shouldn't be a big deal.

You can modify it by reduced time and such also if you so desire

In which case you're turning yourself into a high powered aura generator and you should be paying that high cost for the size of your reality nudging power. That combination is POTENT.

Edit: in many cases applying ranged can work if you need to hit far off allies for cheap.
