Tiny Dungeon / EZD6

Ok, cool. Like I said, just give another day or two. I haven't forgotten about you, just trying to get a few things knocked out so I'm not so swamped.

That's cool. Take your time. I'm not in a hurry.

Here.!

Psybermaji, squid, and ogion. Gotcha.

yes

Gotcha, tibbius.

So I have a question about Spelltouched. I understand this trait had limited power but seems versatile.
1. Can you have more than 1 affect at a time?
2. Can it heal damage? (Ex touch heal 1, or other effects explicitly stated in other traits)
3. How large of an area affect can it have? (It mentioned only small object)

The way I play it:
1. No
2. No
3. Small focus. The largest is probably something like cast light.

There is a pretty awesome book called the Micronomicon - A Compendium of Magic that gives a nice little list of examples in the Spell Touched section:
1. Sense magic around the caster or in nearby items;
2. Produce small illusory objects;
3. Make small objects turn invisible;
4. Conjure light sources or phantom sounds from nowhere;
5. Ignite or douse small flames;
6. Manipulate and move small objects (if you have eye contact with them).

Not sure right off the top of my head. I'll give it a read this evening after work and see what I can come up with.

Thanks @squid. I figure it is a global cantrip catchall (D&D background) and want to play around with its utility.
Ideas/ questions
1. Can you have more than 1 affect at a time?
2. Can it heal damage? (Ex touch heal 1, or other effects explicitly stated in other traits)
3. How large of an area affect can it have? (It mentioned only small object) EX create illusion terrain to hide a crouching goblin, me

4. How long can an effect last?
5. It mentions illusion and fire, which I extrapolate to any/all elements but can it also have mental or spiritual effects? Ex can it summon, ward off, or charm small creatures (insects, birds, small animals)
6. Can it conjure/create temporary tiny objects
7. Can it transmute or repair objects
8. Can the illusions affect any/all sences
9. Are there possible uses residents of the Great Indoors may have developed? (Not familiar with the setting so just thinking ahead)
These don't need answers now but are things I am thinking about and may attempt

The Tiny games purposefully leave this kind of detail out -- it's up to the table / GM. I personally would say nope to healing because there are specific things for that, but I'd otherwise leave it pretty wide open rather than confine it tightly... but to each their own. I think the only real balance you need is to make sure the spell reader spells have more punch.

Like I said D&D background so I am almost equating spell touched to cantrips and Spell Reader to casting any other spell from a scroll. Pretty easy translation of concepts.
Even so there are alot of things cantrips, or their equivalent, can do besides damage and illusion.
Some things not covered include sensory vs mental vs physical illusions vs summon vs conjure : Ex mouse: a sensory illusion creates input that everyone can detect by manipulating sound and light so they see and hear the "mouse", a mental illusion tricks a single mind so know they see the "mouse", a physical illusion alters reality while maintained so the "mouse" is actually there (like a holo-deck), a summons calls an actual mouse from the world to move to the desired location, and a conjured "mouse" can be a physical manifestation of a spiritual being or concept (there are a variety of Conjuration concepts including teleport). Of course these work only last as long as maintained, though a summoned mouse would still be left to do as it wishes after the Summons ends.

I think this really gives adequate guidance. As DM, I would let you do any of the small, subtle things you've suggested. A fireball: no. Igniting the rag in a Molotov cocktail? Yes. An earthquake? No. A few rocks falling from the ceiling to deal 1 hp damage? Yes.

I would love to play either frankly!

Cool. I'll send you an invite once everything is ready on my end.

@GaryD20 how is it going?

I'll be sending invites out by Friday for everyone still interested. Sorry for the delay. Hit an unexpectantly busy stretch at work. Then I was at JeffCon over the weekend. But invites will be going out in the next couple of days.

Yeah, thanks. No worries, life happens. I hope you had fun at JeffCon.

Oh yeah. JeffCon was a blast. Had a great time. Too bad it's the last one. Ret-Con and MythCon are coming up in February and March though. Can't wait!

Invites going out tomorrow.
