Tush Hog:
How do they work? I saw one on Victor Sells statblock and I saw where Fred put Harry's rote spells up and wasn't sure how they get handled.

As I recall, they basically let the caster take a "gimme" on the control part of an evocation -- because the spell's been practiced so much, the caster gets to automatically an average (i.e., unmodified skill rating) result, making it easier to throw around without accidentally frying his face off or what-have-you. :)

ClarkValentine:
If you're familiar with D&D/D20, it's like "taking 10" on a roll to control an evocation spell. You get average results, in exchange for certainty of outcome.

Tush Hog:
OK, gotcha. Is there a limit to how many rotes you can have?

Yep, it's limited by your Lore.
