Conflict

Class Feature: Powered by Conflict

  • Conflict Weavers cast spells using Charge.
  • Conflict weavers gain 1 point of Charge for the following:
    • In combat: Landing a successful blow on an enemy
    • In combat: Taking a blow from an enemy
    • Out of combat: arguing for 10s
  • NB: a genuine conflict has to exist with the target of your conflict. Friends letting you hit them will not generate charge; arguments have to have teeth and be designed to anger.
  • When you cast a conflict spell, you deplete all accumulated Charge, dropping to 0 Charge.
  • Conflict spells cannot gain the caster Charge.
  • Charge is lost between encounters.
Planar Influence
  • When travelling in Conflict, you may choose to activate this ability once per encounter: the charge cost for spells is halved (rounded up). Notify a GM if you do this.
  • When travelling in Connection, the charge cost for your spells is doubled.

Rituals

  • Rituals give weavers the ability to try more freeform magic to have greater or more long-lasting effects than normal spells.
  • The ritualist will specify an outcome they hope to attain by performing the ritual.
  • A standard ritual takes 2 minutes to cast. The ritualist may, if they wish, choose instead to cast the ritual instantaneously. This is not without risk and carries a 50% chance of something going seriously wrong with the ritual.
  • Ritual cast times are halved in a complimentary plane and doubled in an opposing plane.

Spells

  • The charge cost for each spell is listed after its name.

  • This call is overwritten at the end of the encounter.
Divine the cause of Wrack and Ruin 0
  • If you come across a combat or argument you make attempt to divine the spark that ignited the conflict.
