Player 4:
What is this game ruling on Shape and Material Magical Focuses while enchanting? It doesn't matter what effect I'm putting on them so long as it's a sword? Sword that lets me fly, Sword that shoots fireballs, sword that fills tapped buckets with water?
It is canonical, though I'm not really a fan of that ruling. So how about let's say yes, but be conservative with it, such as "wooden wands" being narrow enough that it's not a lot of use outside the purpose or just not enchanting a ton if you want a broad material? More than a few times I've had to figure out what is a reasonable way to apply a limit. That's where my house rule on Faerie Sympathy comes from, for example.
Player 4:
@A-SG We are going to document the final vetted version on the wiki then once we discuss them?
Of spells and enchanted effects? Yes, I will. That will make it easier to stay consistent and easier for others to build similar spells and effects.
Player 4:
Also how are we doing companions? Do I need to find a magus that will take my companion on? I was wanting to do an agent that is nominally infernal. So it will take some discussion.
I would think someone would be happy to have that companion. We all do choose Hooks, after all.
Player 13:
For the Alpha: Am I correct in assuming variant RDTs of standard spells generally don't really need approval as long as the new RDT doesn't significantly change the spell?
Correct. If there are some oddball bits to it as a result, it can be worth checking. But if it's a straightforward shift, just go for it.
Player 13:
For everyone: Those of you with a better idea than me about Sahir magic what might be useful specialized PeVi or ReVi types for spells similar to those listed in the Lineage of Pralix section?
ReVi wards against jinn. PeVi lowering magic resistance.
Player 13:
As in those spells using guidelines that include a bit like "Dispel effects of a specific type."
Ah, dispelling specific types of magic? Dispelling a Sihr bargain? I'd have to check that particular one, though, if that would get to the point of being a Ritual or if Formulaic spells could do it.
