gojj:
They look cool. Is there a reason Additional Knowledge and evothaum aren't available to Druidic Magic? Would a player "upgrade" these to sponsored magics if they wished their characters to become more proficient spell singers, or would you allow them to take upgrades (e.g -X Additional Power)? Do these function as mortal magic in regard to Catches and Hexing?

I love little powers like these that can really add a unique flavor to a character.

Sanctaphrax:
Evothaum and Additional Knowledge are unnecessary for Druidic Magic, since Druidic Magic is modelled after enchanted items. You can already select spells from among the full set of possible spells, and enchanted items can do thaumaturgy stuff normally.

Catch stuff is up to the GM, as usual. But these Powers probably shouldn't allow intentional hexing, and I don't think unintentional hexing is appropriate for them either.

As for upgrades...these are intended to port D&D magic into DFRPG, so they should probably have their own upgrade path. A high-level Druid doesn't use Sponsored Magic, after all.

The best way to do it is probably another upgrade Power that increases the strength of your spells above your skill. But maybe not all of your spells...after all, D&D casters have spells of various levels available.

Sanctaphrax:
Fists versions of Skill. Made these for Goku.

Thoughts?

Taran:
Huh...I'm running  a chest deep game where they will run into a mystic martial artist.  He's submerged.  I'll test this out for you.  It seems to let me put everything into fists so I'll get to condense my pyramid a bit....

Sanctaphrax:
Cool. Let me know how it goes.

PS: It occurs to me that you can probably break these by taking stunts to move as many random trappings to the boosted skill as possible. Speed has the same issue, but this is still a problem. The skill bonus probably shouldn't always apply.
