Refinement, Advancement and Focused Practitioners

<< < (3/4) > >>

Deadmanwalking:
Uh, guys? Sorcerer's can have a level of Refinement each for Thaumaturgy and Evocation. This is, coincidentally, enough for the +1/+2 Specialties in a particular element. There's not really the need for much of a workaround, here.

KOFFEYKID:
Also note that FP's who have Ritual (Item Creation) can go longer without needing to upgrade to thaumaturgy than any other type of FP.

They can a +3, a +2 and a +1 (Yay for +3 Strength, +2 Uses and +1 Focus Items, thats some wicked potion brewing).

We were speaking beyond that one level. The point that I was making was that there was still the issue of letting FPs get their +1/+2, then the sorcerers not being able to exceed their power level in that element.


Someone said that their would suggest ignoring the templates as anything more than suggestions. That's a valid point (and essentially what people were talking about, in a roundabout way), but I think that it still ignores the issue of this ceiling on FPs. Without totally breaking the rule set, I was wondering if anyone had considered creating 'Must: Channeling' supernatural powers? Give the FPs the ability to take bonuses/abilities related to their chosen element.

iago:
The mistake is thinking that when Harry says specialists can be REALLY POWERFUL, he's talking about something other than Superb and Great spellcasting skills and a little bit of focus item bonus action. That *is* Really Powerful.

I expect there are a lot of average (+1) skill minor talents running around.
Being a sorcerer who is mostly average, and good(+3) at one thing is likely a significant person in the local mystic scene. These are not the folk who are likely to be the big bad whatnot due to their magical power.
