Title: A question about powers
Post by: SavageMage on April 02, 2010, 02:18:28 AM
I just downloaded the Powers list from the DFRPG site and have already started fleshing out PC ideas with giddy excitement for next week's pre-release. That being said, I came up with an interesting idea for a power.

Imagine a wizard who, when faced with overwhelming opponents, can transform himself into a murder of crows to confuse his enemies and escape unharmed.

It also works well for those dramatic exits and impressing the ladies...  ;D

is this even possible?

I imagine it being similiar to the teleport potion that Harry used in Storm Front.

there is a series of post about this in the weird character idea thread. looks doable as long as they function as a swarm and stick together.

That's basically a special effect. If it has a mechanical effect, it'd get tricky. And to be able to do it quickly and on the fly you'll need to invest in some items -- normally that sort of thing isn't something that Evocation could pull off.

Could Shapechanging do it?

Conceivably, I suppose. A lot depends on the definition of the abilities that come along for the ride.
