Spellslinger Advantage for Standard Magic System
Greetings,
Pyramid #3/66: The Laws of Magic (p. 14) brings a new advantage called Spellslinger. Like Heroic Archer, it's based on Gunslinger advantage. Thus, It does for spellcasters what Gunslinger advantage does for gunners. The advantage was designed for Ritual Path Magic system. However, it says that it can be adapted to others magic systems. That said, I think the only small modification worth mentioning is for Blocking Spells: You have the effect of Blocking Spell Mastery perk to all of your blocking spells. However, as presented in the original advantage, it says you can roll at -6 to both the final casting roll and the attack roll to attack with offensive spells at the same turn the caster finished the casting, effectively allowing casters to attack every turn. My question is: Does this -6 penalty to cast spells affects the skill for purporse of energy reduction and ritual? |

Energy reduction is on base skill, not effective skill. Yes, this means that any sort of bonus to casting does not push you to the next breakpoint.

You could, yeah. It wouldn't break anything. RPM doesn't have some of the problems basic magic does with missile spells.
