HARP / Re: Clarification: How to handle a caster that can utilize multiple mana sources.
« Last post by netbat on May 12, 2024, 11:57:19 AM »Given that tapping personal mana negates one of the advantages of tapping fixed or ambient mana (not bering detectable by magic unless you are currently casting a spell) I'd go ahead and let the player use the better recovery rate. After all they did pay the DPs to get the second source (so min. of 3/8 of a level). Otherwise a second mana source has very little to no value over tap personal mana.
I don't know, 15DP is kind of cheap for double the recovery rate and reducing/eliminating the recovery effects of dead zones. Adding tap personal to one of the others is even cheaper for what is essentially a conditional application of greater eloquence worth 40DP for the benefits of casting time on spells less than 10pp and worth even more on higher pp spells.
