Talk:Shao Long Eila Du Felisima

Edmiao Ben, i had it in mind to make it be able to be dog or cat sized depending on shape shifting. but i realized that would be a growth power. so i went with diminutive (cat sized) as that is the size he has always been in game, cats and parrots. Also bought Shadow magic power skill to activate it's powers.

BEn:I don't think I'm going to allow your pet to take gestures as a limitation for powers. the skill roll is fine though.

GABE: But a cat doing gestures would be so cute!

Edmiao that's fine. i was trying to make it in line with casting spells, which require incantations gestures and skill roll. i couldn't see it doing incantations since it can't talk. I'll remove the gestures and probably have to drop intelligence or flight a little to compensate, or make them slow, delayed phase or something.

BEN: the way I see it, creatures have 'innate' magic that doesn't follow spellcasting rules precisely.

--Edmiao 15:29, 25 September 2008 (MST)sounds good. should it have the "shadow magic" skill then? i previously had "activation roll" but not sure if that was legal. lets ask jason what he thinks about activation roll vs skill roll

--Edmiao 10:18, 26 September 2008 (MST) i was thinking about the powers more, if magic is innate to some creatures, then they probably don't have to learn magic skill to do it, so i wanted to remove the requires a magic skill roll. that ok with you ben? I may have to decrease INT or Flying to make up the points. I just can't imagine a shadow creature that is born from illusion failing to shape shift at will (slowly, though).

BEN: yup, that sounds right to me.

--Edmiao 11:09, 26 September 2008 (MST) oh, re your comment on gabe's raven, probably Shao should have magesight? i can't afford that as of yet, but can buy it with xp after this session.
