Magic in 2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu (Part 1)

[@WookieeRage]

Thank you for the break down on magic. Wish the audio had less echo and some images from the books would be nice.

To clarify Dabblers - their base Power is 1, plus any bonuses for a high Will. They can choose to increase their base Power to 3 (plus any bonuses from high Will) on a case-by-case basis, at the cost of causing problems on Effects rolled. Also worth noting: to be a Traditionalist or Researcher caster, you have to choose that at character creation. Anyone who becomes a spellcaster during play who wasn't a caster to begin with becomes a Dabbler because they don't have the same years of experience, study, and practice.

Thank you for the clarification. It's hard to fit everything into the video. I'll be taking a look at Character Creation next.

Great Vid. Is there any save on the Drain? Or is it unavoidable cost in full?

[@solaries3]

Great explanation!

[@lovindablues]

First Thank you for doing this more in-depth review of magic for this system. Much appreciated. And I think you mixed up persistent and piercing effect for this spell/psychic attack though for 2 momentum one could add 2 piercing. I assume the other effects are just general ones that may apply to other spell attacks since per the spell listed only Drain and Persistent 3 are applicable. Cheers!

[@AxidentalDM]

I'm not sure exactly where in the video you're referring to about the mix up with persistent and piercing, but it is certainly possible I made a slip of the tongue. If it is in reference to the example spell, Spontaneous Combustion, there are the specific Momentum spends listed in the description, as well as the more general ones, which are described on p. 144. The descriptions of the various effects/qualities are not particular to Magic alone, but their descriptions can be found on p. 35 under "Weapon Effects." Thanks for watching.

@@AxidentalDM It's not a big deal....but at time stamp: 18:06 is where you switch it. No worries mate! Just got a little confused. Cheers.

Any more AC 2d20 videos coming?

[@AxidentalDM]

Hopefully soon. One on the lore of the Secret War will probably be next, but I'm also planning to do one on combat and character creation.
