Glamours and Technology
« on: May 25, 2016, 06:50:30 PM »
Just wondering if a Glamour or Greater Glamor would show up as real on a Camera or such?

I suppose it depends if you adjudicate it as a mental effect or a physical effect.  I always thought it was the latter.  It's a visual illusion, not a mental figment.

Depends on the GM and the type of character you are playing, I suppose.

Well, glamours might be at question - though since they're primarily visual, I'll agree with Taran that they should work.

Greater Glamours are expressly called out as Ectoplasmic creations. Therefore, as long as the energy cost is covered, they are as real as reality wants them to be. They could probably fool an X-Ray or MRI.
I will choose a path that's clear; I will choose Freewill.
