Title: Spells granting Stunts?
Post by: Ophidimancer on July 30, 2010, 06:58:04 PM

Should it be possible?  Would it use the transformation rules?  Should it just be regarded as taking a Temporary Power?

What do you guys think?

I'd just use them as maneuvers to grant some sort of sticky/multiple tag aspect that would do something similar to the stunt and call it good.  No need to make it overcomplicated.

I think it would be possible through Thaumaturgy.  If you wanted to buff yourself before going into trouble time is the 1st question.  After that just come up with a equation for determining the difficulty something like (stunt cost X 2) +2 so the minimum difficulty you are going to be dealing with for a -1 cost stunt is a 4 shift difficulty, a -2 stunt would be a 6 shift difficulty, and a -3 stunt would be an 8 shift difficulty.  If you find that too simple then increase the multiplier.

I'd use the Thaumaturgical Shapeshifting rules (on p. 283) and the Temporary Power rules (on p. 92).

For practical purposes, this would make it Complexity 3-5 plus one Tag or FP per Stunt.
