Crowdforging a Modifier Name

Later today I'm going to be proposing a new ability modifier. The effect is "Cannot Be Used While Sprinting." Unlike "stationary " these abilities can be used at regular movement speed.

I'm thinking a name that implies it's something that requires too much concentration to pull off at a full sprint.

Please propose names and upvote ones you like. The best / most popular proposal will be used in the ideascale post unless it's an obvious joke/troll.

Does "ranged" work?

No. There are some melee ranged abilities such as heals that I think should be considered for having this condition. I'd like a name that leaves that option if there is enough support for it.

"Precise"?

Goblin Squad Member

Just make it walking, which means it will be walking speed or slower while animation is in effect.

Or rolling back to the table-top, your original term "Concentration" which applies primarily to spells which only last as long as you maintain your focus on them. This also applies to a number of effects, like (Bardic Buffs) which are supernatural effects, but not "spells" under the system.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

+1 on Focused. That's a great suggestion.

I would like concentration as a word because of the TT flavor but I'd like to see this condition more based on what's balanced / good for the game and less on what actions require concentration in-game. I think people will be more open to that if we use a word like "focused" or "focused action"

Goblin Squad Member

"Occupied" maybe. I had thought focused, so that's a good one. "Distracted", "Concentrating" or "Intent".

Well that's not too many votes to go on but I did say I would be posting it up later today. Looks like it's 4 people supporting focused with a few assorted ideas with 2 supporters. So I'll use focused in the proposal.


+1 Focus
