I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to properly implement the truncheon as a move.Omniphysics means your wooden truncheon is just as durable as that metal sword, because it's a prime's weapon. It's just shorter range (but assumedly thus stronger than a similar long-range weapon because balance). Thus you can beat people to death with your wooden truncheon. If you feel so inclined to be very un-warlockey.
Fair enough, though. I might add that as a move here, then.
Quote:when it comes to numbers, I'd actually wish to defer to you on that one, as I wasn't completely clear on how the undead could be used. if you could name a number you'd deem appropriate, I'd have no problems agreeing with whatever you deemed, though 5-10 was generally what I was expecting to be able to use.
Quote:Well having 5-10 undead would make it a strong move so you would need significant downsides. If he can summon more than one undead at once as well by putting in more energy or whatever that would add 300 to the cost because it's more variable.He can't summon more than one at a time. this is one of the main limiting factors of the move is the fact that they cannot quickly replenish and thus their value goes down drastically if he loses many at once
(additionally, because summoning multiple at once had some fairly cheap applications that would have made the move a little ridiculous)
As you have it currently, here's how I would price the move.
300-summoning an undead that can be remotely controlled for basic stuff such as grabbing, moving, essentially a physical manifestation of his remote control.
+300 for summoning multiple or controlling multiple simultaneously.
+300 for using swords
+300 for using bows
1500 is more than fair.
Quote:You would, however, need to severely limit the strength of the undead or make the downsides more severe (than it currently states in the description, at least) in order to have it how you want. Definitely include the part about requiring mental focus to make them do what you want, very especially if it's more than one. I think simply having a moderate amount of time/energy to summon each one should be fine, since I would think that one severe downside is that this singularly strong attack from a prime could probably disable a single zombie, making it pretty easily foiled dependent on how you word this. I guess it depends on how strong/weak they are. If you can add more detail to the description then we can fine-tune this as needed.Well, I was expecting them to be fairly weak. A straight 0 in stats would generally be how I'd expect them to be, with even a regular weapon-based attack being able to destroy one or even several, and anyone with physical proficiency having a very low chance on taking a single hit from them while slaughtering them in return. They're more meant to be a useful distraction while Raal attempts to use a more effective attack, since he's quite fragile.
edited appropriately.
