Topic: RMC vs RMFRP: Bladeturn (Poll)

[PiXeL01]

In the RMSS Spell Law I have (lying around somewhere in misuse) all Bladeturns are 50 and Deflections are 100. I remember being puzzled by this, since I essencially bought the book to replace or support the RM2 one which was in disrepear

Which list?  Bladeturn is on about 6.  Some list 50, there is at least one that only has 20.  I am thinking the mageant base list one.  Will have to check tonight.

PS - in the errata pdf, it lists that it should be -50 on the open mentalism attack avoidance list.

It is "same as Deflect I" on attack avoidance. It is -50 on Shield Mastery. To my knowledge bladeturn is not included in any other list in spell law.

could always make it scaleable based on casting level, but 100 is ok by me.

I play RM2 but use many lists in RMSS. Even then I keep -100 as in RM2.

Finally got around to this.   That was it and Deflect I is -100.  I remember getting into a big discussion with the GM on that one.  He simply said 'Bladeturn was always -100 and I am not going to change it'.

While I voted for #1 (RM2/-100), we actually use RMSS in most of our campaigns, but retain the -100 for Bladeturn.

I think that the -100 is good, as it is a one shot deal.  The defensive spells with a duration balance out well because they have a lower numerical effect on a character's defensive bonus.

Plus, using it a lot drains spell points fast...

I use both versions in our game world. Our Witch has a new -50 version, while some other characters (semi-spell users) got the older version of the list, providing -100. The thing is, Witch version gives -50% (halves) the OB of the attacker while -100 is just a plain -100.

Works fine for us.
