DFRPG / Maneuver Spells
« on: January 27, 2011, 05:48:24 AM »
It says in YS252 that "Most maneuvers require 3 shifts of power, but if the target has an appropriate resisting skill rated higher than Good (+3), that skill total determines the required shifts.
Let's say the Dame of Spring has a Whirwind Spell that affects everyone in 1 zone, would you still compare her Discipline roll + foci vs target's athletics and that this spell can only affect anyone with Athletics of 3 or less? If she wants to affect Helen Beckit (Athletics +4) and Greg Beckit (Athletics +2), her spell would automatically fail vs Helen and she would have to roll vs Greg.
Whirlwind
Type: Storm evocation, Offensive Manuever
Power: 5 shifts ~ 3 for the Manuever, 2 for Zone wide effect.
Stress: 2 Mental (1 for basic evocation, 1 stress for 1 level of uncontrolled power)
Control: None needed (rote).
To hit: Discipline + 1 for Sword Offensive Control Focus vs. target’s Athletics.
