Exhiled from the Fae to go make something of herself in the world. Only when they told stories of her heroism and deeds would she regain her families respect and re-entrance into Fae high society.

Group role: Facewoman, persuasive. befuddling enemies and providing entertainment for all. will eventually have a familiar that will have sneaky properties.

Detect Illusion

Images to Detect Illusion

Dispel Illusions

Desolidify

Entangle linked to Images (ie images of vines so real that they entangle you unless disbelieved or cut through)

Transform (cosmetic)

Multiple images of self to distract foes, i think this was another kind of images in the girmoire. essentially a chance they attack the wrong image.

BEN: you can't succor DCV I don't think: it's not a characteristic. If you CAN, DCV costs 5 pts/level, so for every full 5 pts. you roll on the dice, you raise DCV by 1 point.

Edmiao i knew about the 5 for 1 thing. i liked the idea of bending light away from where she actually is, but 2 DCV is nearly useless for her, especially at that cost, she could just buy 2 DCV straight up for less.

GABE: Hey Ed, I had a few other ideas too (cuz I seem to be able to come up with spells for others while I can't come up with new potions...). What about just a stright Entangle? Like you mess with their mind? Same affect as an illusion but a little more reliable? Or like Ben said, a beam of light, just give it AOE.

Also I was thinking of like an ego attack, where you create an illusion so disturbing to one person, it can't help but warp their mind, ala the stun. Just some ideas!

BEN: you can have the "blur" thing as the effect of your +2 DCV. visible is even like a -1/4 or -1/2 disad. HOWEVER, I don't want people loading up on + to DCV as a defense mechanism. +2 DCV is fine for your character, although your character is already almost impossible to hit, since she flies. I'd like you to take "costs END" for it though, every phase.

Edmiao wiki blocked editing my own character. brutal. i was going to buy the blur spell above, costs end to activate. that turns a persistent power into a activatable power. if i must buy it with cost END every phase, then i will delete it cus i have too much of an END problem.

Edmiao ya gabe, that's what i was thinking with terrifying visage above as a disturbing image that messes with their mind. was considering some kind of illusionary terrain entangle, but not sure it fits with the character concept. My conception of illusions are that they are in essence intangible, and i have tried to keep the powers in tune with that.

Edmiao Aefra is impossible to hit if she flies by HTH combattants. ranged folks or any spellcaster or any flying creature will have no problem hitting her with her crap DCV. we just haven't seen an archer yet. not that i'm requesting one.

Edmiao throwing stones and improvised weapons. Throwing an unbalanced object like a person, sword or car is a -4 range mod penalty. throwing a blanced OR aerodynamic object like a rock is -2 range mod. throwing balanced AND aerodynamic objects, like a pole thrown like a spear has -0 range mod (bad for me vs Ninja Orc). improvised weapons can do as many DC as it has DEF + BODY. if the character does more damage with STR than that, then the improvised weapon typically breaks. (pg 382 5th ed revised). thus, a 25kg rock has DEF 5 + BODY 6 = 11DC ouch (pg 448-9), probably they can only do STR damage to her with it to whatever strength they have. Throwing table describes how far an object can be thrown a 15 STR character can throw a 25kg rock 6 inches (pg 35). thus, if any decent fighter wants to kill poor Aefra, it's freakin easy. So, i have now instructed you as to how to kill my character. Sometimes its bad to be interested too much in the rules.

Aefra's Plans

Wow! And Wow! That was the most excitement and fun I've ever had! And that little Philip was so cute! I hope that Galen was able to find Danny and figure out if she was poisoned or not, how horrible! I've got to find Aeten and maybe together we can figure out what happened and reunite with our auspice bonded friends! This is all so incredible! We'll have to find a cure for Danny somehow, she's like a big sister to me! That deer i made was awesome! And that was, like, just off the top of my head n stuff! Oh man, maybe I can do something great with myself!
