Hexagram #13 Discussion

Rather create a separate thread for each topic or article, I thought it might be more efficient to have one thread where folks can post questions or comments on any of the content presented in the latest Hexagram.

I'll start with Steve's GIFT OF TONGUES idea (pg 9).

This is actually a common spell concept which several other forum members (myself included) have attempted to solve for. See also...

The function of Steve's version is nicely described, but the mechanics are frustratingly vague. I assume it would be a Thrown spell and "medium high" level probably means IQ 13 to 15. Not sure I agree that the spell's ST cost should be "high" but I guess that would depend on what he considers high. It certainly shouldn't exceed the cost of something like TELEPATHY. TBH, I think making the spell some kind of lesser version of TELEPATHY makes alot of sense flavor-wise.
