Repetition of Effect Words


Round 2: Words of Power Discussion

Dark Archive

There is nothing that I could find in the playtest document that limits repetition of an Effect Word.

Thus

PERSONAL + FROST FINGERS + FROST FINGERS = 0 + 5 + 7 = 12 points

should yield a 2d6 cold damage per level of the caster (up to 10d6)?

An individual spell cannot contain two words from the
same group.

I imagine this applies even if both words are the same word.

Nice catch. Thanks.

Hmm, this is going to lead to a lot of multi-element spells at higher levels.

Single target + Fire Blast + Lighting Blast + Ice Blast = 7th level spell close range touch attack for 30d6 damage, no save. Or change it to a Mass spell to do the same amount of damage to a group of people as an 8th level spell, ref save for half damage. Muahahaha.
