I'd never cast it in a fight. Better to up Charm until it's 1 second!<br /><br />I like the idea of PUC at a glance, but if a spell goes from a success/failure dynamic to a partial success/failure dynamic, it needs to get cheaper and/or faster. Otherwise, it's just being weakened in the guise of making it more interesting.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-53599536338875209542015-10-17T10:18:21.559-07:002015-10-17T10:18:21.559-07:00Enslave has a 1 second casting time, which means t...Enslave has a 1 second casting time, which means the mind controller spends less time within a couple of yards of the swashbuckler muttering to himself.<br /><br />PUC, as written, doesn't address Magic at all, which is why I'm trying to figure out how PUC and Magic should interact.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-80907085851148096562015-10-17T10:02:52.352-07:002015-10-17T10:02:52.352-07:00I need to check out PUC, I think.
Isn't Ensla...I need to check out PUC, I think.<br /><br />Isn't Enslave an odd choice? It is permanent and costs 30 to cast. Charm is probably better. For 30 energy it better do more than inflict partial control. Or did PUC change the cost?Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.com
