UmbraLux:
A couple of comments / questions on Rune Magic - is renaming "Enchanted Item" to "Rune Magic Item" etc really necessary? I think there's too much jargon in the game already. Also, what's the sponsor's agenda? No idea what debt compels would be used for after reading it.
Mr. Death:
Presuming the sponsor is Odin and the beneficiary is a Valkyrie, the agenda is probably along the lines of preparing for Ragnarok, collecting weapons, and finding new Einherjar.
polkaneverdies:
@sancta: The character appears to be trading the ability to make crafting focus items for the ability to take sponsor debt. Beyond that there is little difference.
Mr. Death:
One suggestion to make it different, a lot of the Sponsored Magics in the rulebook include a +1 bonus somewhere. Maybe Rune Magic could offer a Complexity bonus to any items made with it?
Sanctaphrax:
Okay, so it's really just Crafting with facelift and some minor mechanical changes.
That's not good.
Adding a random bonus won't help much, Sponsored Magic is supposed to be interesting.
So, full rewrite time. I'll start with the fluff, crunch will come later.
RUNE MAGIC [-4]
Description: A long time ago, Odin stabbed himself with a spear and hanged himself from The World Tree as a sacrifice to himself. By doing so, he acquired the power of Rune Magic. Now Odin gives some of that runic power to his Valkyries, making them able to serve him better.
Sponsor: Rune Magic comes from Odin, greatest of the Aesir and master of runes.
Agenda: The agenda of Odin is not entirely clear, but it definitely includes making preparations for Ragnarok. Users of Rune Magic might be called upon to find new Einherjar for Odin's armies or to gather weapons for the final battle.
Evocation:
Thaumaturgy:
Evothaum:
Extra Benefits:
I'll send Tsunami and Mal_Luck PMs, see what they have to say.
