Hmmm. I am listening. The refresh to build said character is 16, skill points is 40.

The shield is an example because it would more than likely an item of power, should've added that. My apologies. A magical shield or sword can work, but I chose a shield because a shield gives much more options than a sword. An maybe for the +2 the cost of the stunt would be a 2 refresh cost rather than one, or the +2 can be taken out entirely. I only added that in because I know wizards are capable of casually drumming up so much power with little to almost no trouble; save for bad dice rolls. So being able to meet or beat the attack would be preferable, or if the wizard catches you in the maneuver. Then you would have an opportunity to try and siphon off a bit of the magical energies placed in the maneuver to make getting out a bit easier.

Again as I said, it is an idea that I needed council on to make sure its strong; but not overly so. I am open to suggestions.

Please share your thoughts on these stunts.

Absorption: you can will your shield to roll a weapons vs the shifts of power in a spell effect,and absorb that much. As a subsequent action. If your beat it, the entire spell's energy absorbed. If not, subtract it from the total and the spell hast that many shifts of power left.


Example: Wizard places a maneuver on you using a spell that caused the vines in the area to grab you. He summoned 10 shifts to do it, rolled a discipline of 8. You defend with a 4. On your turn, as a subsequent action, you allow the weapon(obviously it needs to be magical) to absorb the magic. You roll a weapons and get a 7. Out of the 10 shifts used to animate the vines to hold you, you absorb 7 and 3 remain, so on the next exchange you can absorb the remaining 3 and spell falls apart.


Deflect magic: this allows you to deflect magic evocations that are either a beam or a ball of energy, rolling weapons with a +2.

Outside of wizards who can counterspells and do other weird and crazy things with magic, is it possible for a character to deflect or redirect said spell through a weapon?

Example. Wizard A is fighting against an Emissary of Power. Said wizard casts an evocation at his opponent but his opponent is able to send it back by beating the attack with a weapon or something if that nature. How would be expressed through a stunt? I asked because I am trying to see what a stunt made for this purpose would be able to do and how would it he worded.

I waas thinking something along the lines of Captain America and the like.  Or if there is anything better out there I can glean from, then please share. I am open to suggestions and ideas.

Creature feature: Web (-2) you may spin a web like a spider, cover an area with sticky ectoplasmic goo or similar effect. Make a weapon attack. If the roll is successful, the target is subject to a block against movement, with a strength equal to to your weapon skill. A subsequent successful attack or an attack made while invoking an appropriate aspect, will convert this block to a grapple.

Sticky (-1) this upgrade to web allows you to place a Webbed aspect on the zone. While this aspect is in place all zone borders are increased by a value equal to your weapon skill.

Much appreciated everyone! Such awesome ideas!
