The Illusion Spell

 

The Illusion Spell

I was very annoyed that every single version of Illusion magic I've seen for sorcery requires you to keep the spell active instead of having a duration, so I ended up making my own versions.

===============

Complex Illusion

Keywords: Area (Leveled).

Full Cost: 10 points for level 1 + 12/additional level.

Range: 10 yards.

Time: 2 sec

Cost: 2

Duration: 1 hour.

You can create an illusion anywhere within 10 yards. The illusion can be of up to 2 yards in size (+1 yard per level). It affects sight and hearing. Targets that can see the illusion roll to resist vs your casting check, if they fail, they notice that something is "off". Their roll is at +4 if they have reason to be alert for illusions or +10 if you made it appear from out of nowhere. Even if they disbelieve, the illusion stays blocking line of sight and causing noise. You must concentrate if you want the illusion to behave in an intelligent manner instead of just acting out a programmed behavior.

 

Illusion: 25, Independence, (+40%); Ranged, (+40%); Wizardly Magic (-30%); D&D Magic (-40%), Reduced Range (-30%), Cost Fatigue 2 (-10%), 2 second cast time (-10%): Takes Extra Time 1, -10%, Maximum Duration (-10%) 1 hour.

Additional levels add Area Effect (+50%) [+12.5].

 

25+(25*-60%)=10 

40+40-30-40-30-10-10-10-10=-60  

==============

Simple Illusion

Keywords: Area (Leveled).

Full Cost: 5 points for level 1 + 12 points/additional level.

Casting Roll: None. Use IQ or Artist (Illusion) to determine how convincing it is.

Range: 10 yards.

Time: 1 sec

Cost: 1

Duration: 1 minute.

Like Complex Illusion, but only fools vision.

 

Illusion: 25, Independence, (+40%); Ranged, (+40%); Wizardly Magic (-30%); Visual Only, (-30%), D&D Magic (-40%), Reduced Range (-30%), Cost Fatigue 1 (-5%), 1 second cast time (-5%): Takes Extra Time 1, -10%, Maximum Duration (-65%).

Additional levels add Area Effect (+50%) [+12.5].

 

25+(25*-80%)=5

40+40-30-30-40-30-5-5-10-65=-135

==============

Ghost Sound

Keywords: Area (Leveled).

Full Cost: 5 points.

Casting Roll: None. Use IQ or Artist (Illusion) to determine how convincing it is.

Range: 10 yards.

Time: 1 sec

Cost: 1

Like Complex Illusion, but only fools hearing.

 

Illusion: 25, Independence, (+40%); Ranged, (+40%); Wizardly Magic (-30%); Audio Only, (-30%), D&D Magic (-40%), Reduced Range (-30%), Cost Fatigue 1 (-5%), 1 second cast time (-5%): Takes Extra Time 1, -10%, Maximum Duration (-65%).

New Techniques

 Some custom techniques. Some were inspired by D&D 4e, others by necessity (I felt the need for a way to have move and attack without the 9 skill limitation, hence Controlled Charge and Dynamic Attack). I've also added my own dual attack house rule which comes with a technique. New Techniques Houserule: There are no (Hard) techniques. All techniques are average. Reminder: Unarmed combat skills (Brawling, Boxing and Karate) are also melee weapon skills.      Power Attack Defaults : Pre-requisite Skill -4 Pre-Requisites : Any Weapon skill. Max : Pre-requisite Skill -1 This is an attack where you sacrifice accuracy for power. Roll against Power Attack to Hit. If the attack succeeds, deal damage as usual but add +2 or +1 per die, whichever is better.   Tide of Iron (revised) This is combination of a regular weapon attack to the torso with the Shield Shove. Defaults : Combination ( weapon/torso + Shield Shove/Torso ) Weapon Skill-6+Shield ...

The Magic System

This was heavily inspired by Generic Universal Eggplant's Wizardry System, as well as the Modular Powers from this other site I found one day. And then I copied the calamity table from no school grognard College Ritual Book Magic. The main thing I wanted to do was have being an effective caster something possible on 62pt games, and not become overpowered at 250pt games. The other thing I wanted was having all the traditional (in my mind) parts of being a caster still exist, so every spell requires chanting, hand movements and so on. https://enragedeggplant.blogspot.com/2023/09/introduction-to-wizardry.html https://greyson.conlang.org/2020/04/08/modular-powers-a-new-flexible-powers-magic-system-for-gurps/ https://noschoolgrognard.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html Houserules For certain spells that are clearly weaker than their price indicates, (GM choice) after reaching the -80% max limitation, apply the remaining limitation on top. For example. 50pts -120% =10pts due to the max 80, t...

Applied Metatech

 Just some consumable items I made using Metatech rules. If your metatech items are more expensive, switch the multiplier (x15) for the appropriate one in the calculations.   Examples of Metatech Alchemist's Burst Single use grenade that deals 2d6 burn in a 2 yard AoE. $225, 1lb 2 lvs of Innate Attack (burn) 5/lv, AoE (50%); 15 pts. 15*15=225$   Alchemist's Inferno Single use grenade that deals 6d6 burn in a 2 yard AoE. $675, 1lb 6 lvs of Innate Attack (burn) 5/lv, AoE (50%); 45pts. 45*15=675$   Alchemist's Acid Single use grenade that deals 3d6 corrosion damage to a single target. $450, 1lb 3 lvs of Innate Attack (corrosion) 10/lv, 30pts. 30*15=450   Alchemist's Ice Blast Single use grenade that deals 2d6 burn with no incendiary effect in a 2 yard AoE. Targets injured by this effect must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or take a -2 penalty to DX and become Numb (p. B146) for 1 second. $345, 1lb 2 lvs of...
