Re: Looking for a way to make a "turns into area cloud" type effect.
I really like the way the swarm part of diffuse looks.
The only issue I am having with it is it says you are to take a concentrate maneuver to break apart, and then another to go back together... I was wanting something like. Turn 1: pay cost of power, turn to cloud. Covering entire range. (Enemies turns they take damage if in cloud) Turn 2: move (can't do anything else, but able to move through grates etc like swarms can.) (Enemies turns they take damage if in cloud) Turn 3: move again as above. End of turn, turn back into a people as the power resolves. (Hopefully not in a wall or drain cause that would suck) |

Re: Looking for a way to make a "turns into area cloud" type effect.
Another thing about the leech, is I would like to make it work without the will roll to everyone in the area of effect, like an aura with Area Effect, contact agent or whatever, I don't want to have to roll vs will....
I would love for it to work like the vampiric weapon inbunement that way I can keep the dice rolling down a bit... Last thing I want is to start the turn, and have to roll vs will for 6 or 7 goblins. Then roll damage for 6 or 7 goblins. Then work out how much leech got from 6 Or 7 goblins. Then have them take their turns... 3 turns in a row. It would be rough... And it would eat away game time. I'd like to keep it kinda quick even if it was just a little more cinematic than normal. |

Max Duration also imposes a cooldown of 5 minutes on being able to scatter again. Given that the ability becomes a free action, if you removed the CD then the creature could just re-scatter every 2 seconds. It wouldn't really be a limitation at all. In that case, I'd just leave off the Max Duration and treat it at most as a Quirk ("only scatters for two seconds at at time"). |

Malediction rolls vs HT, not Will. Without Malediction, Leech requires grappling, which is not exactly something a cloud of mist is good at.

Re: Looking for a way to make a "turns into area cloud" type effect.
I would suggest modeling it as a Shapeshift/Alternate Form. Part of the new template could be an increase to SM making him take up multiple hexes. Just add Reduced Time to the shapechange. I think 5 levels would make it a free action, but could be wrong.

I was thinking it would impose the cool down on the ability itself, keeping the character from using the ability to become a cloud again. Last edited by Jaware; 03-15-2016 at 04:27 PM. |

I would like a no roll required part for that. Sort of like how inbuements work. Maybe some form or reliable or cosmic no roll could work |

I didn't think of increasing the SM. That may be an easy way to tweak it. Only thing would be making it not a solid, that way other characters would still be able to walk through or take up space within the occupied hexes. |
