They can then control their second-life inside their control reach but must maintain focus (periodic <color #595959>Focus</color> test). <WRAP info> fireball, milk telekinesis, beaver mind-control, ... </WRAP> ==== Autonomous mode ==== The second-life tries to fulfill its commands and disappear after success or after it has depleted its energy reserve. It can go farther than the controllable reach, but then the [[[[start:setting:magic:doubler|doubler]] can get the control back or change its commands. <WRAP info> Examples: tracking, auto-defense, invocation, illusion, ... </WRAP> ==== Permanent mode ==== Their second-life can allow the [[[[start:setting:magic:doubler|doubler]] to permanently alter the world. They can either create or remove matter or energy or transform something into something else. * to alter things but without adding effects requiring energy, in this case it is the simple result of you second-life. //Example: healing, transformation, ...// * to create natural things which does not consume energy, you just need extra energy. //Example: permanent invocation, creating matter, ...// * to create permanent unnatural matter or effects which consume energy, you need a way to furnish this energy to the second-life either from you or the environment if you do not want it to end. //Example: permanent magical invocation, enchantment, ...// ===== Double-Life in the game ===== ==== Passive abilities ==== ==== Active abilities ==== To use their second-life the player must follow the following steps: - Throw the casting cost (in <color #fee600>Energy</color>), the player must pay the cost, if energy is not sufficient the player will start consuming their <color green>Health</color>. - Test their <color #595959>Focus</color> - Given the test result, the player can choose to pay additional energy to add effects (autonomy, power, reach, ...) - The character must keep focusing while the ability is channeled in control mode. In autonomous mode, focus is needed to change the commands. === Focus Test === * <color #cc0000>Total Failure</color>: you lose control of the effects (against your interest) * <color #cc0000>Bad</color>: you lose control of the effects (randomly) * <color #f1c232>Blah</color>: you cannot stop the casting + the second-life does mostly what you want * <color #f1c232>Not bad</color>: you can stop the casting when you reach 1 energy + the second-life does most of what you want * <color #6aa84f>Good</color>: you can stop the casting at half the cost + the second-life does what you want * <color #38761d>Excellent</color>: you can stop the casting at any time + the second-life does perfectly what you want ===== Examples ===== * //"The Sun in the palm of my hand."// Fire -> Control of an orb of fire * //"Burp!"// Digestion -> spit acids and build minerals-organic structures (bones) * //"If you need a hand..."// Division -> can create autonomous bits of their body sustained by the main body * //"Careful! It's slippery..."// Texture -> can change the texture and color of surfaces (chameleon invisibility, walking on any surface, slide on any surface, ...) * //"Whatever I say."// Suggestion -> Oral Control * //"And round, and round, and round!"// Water -> Water Swirl Snake * //"Kaboom!"// Explosion -> Explosive arrows, deafening arrows, smoke arrows, ... * //"Hope can do more than repel the darkness."// Hope -> Combat Booster * //"You just need to find the good rhythm."// Vibration -> earthquake, echolocation, deafening cry, heating metal * //"You! And... you!"// Attraction -> Attract two things toward one another (partial telekinesis, moving like spider-man, communication, trap, ...) ===== Leeching Stones ===== Leeching stones allow doublers to extract energy from the environment but at the cost of corrupting their mind and body. Each player has a clean body with 20 spots (1-20) and loose clean spots after using the leeching stones (by throwing D20). When all spots are corrupted, the doubler disappears. === Focus + Will Test === * <color #cc0000>Total Failure</color>: -5 D20 and Large corruption * <color #cc0000>Bad</color>: -3 D20 and Medium corruption * <color #f1c232>Blah</color>: -2 D20 and Small corruption * <color #f1c232>Not bad</color>: -1 D20 and Small corruption * <color #6aa84f>Good</color>: Nothing * <color #38761d>Excellent</color>: +1 D20 === Training === <WRAP tablewith = 100%> ^ Rank ^ Xp ^ Throw Difficulty ^ | 1 | 1-2 | very hard roll | | 2 | 3-5 | very hard roll + 1 | | 3 | 6-9 | very hard roll + 3 | | 4 | 10-14 | hard roll | | 5 | 15-20 | hard roll + 2 | | 6 | 21-27 | normal roll | | 7 | 28-35 | normal roll + 2 | | 8 | 34-44 | easy roll | | 9 | 45-54 | easy roll + 2 | | 10 | 55+ | very easy roll | </WRAP> start/rpg/double_life.txt Last modified: 2024/04/06 17:14by aretis
