Re: Re-Establishing vWord or Equinox
That's a good point. I'd have to look at that, but if you added a whole new stat, you'd have to redo all of character creation, etc.

Well, who's to say you can't key magic off knowledge or will?

It could. I think Greensight goes off Will, which is about as magic as you get in ASOIAF. Just seems like it would make Will very overpowered.

Well, consider a system where knowledge is rolled to perform a ritual correctly, and will is used to defend against negative side effects.

Not a bad idea. I can't remember off the top of my head, what Intrigue based stuff is based off of status?

Re: Re-Establishing vWord or Equinox
I was thinking binding/ pacts with spirits could be one type of magic. There's no reason a low fantasy setting can't have multiple forms of magic, just as long as they all produce relatively subtle and/or weak magic.

Re: Re-Establishing vWord or Equinox
Agreed. I think I'm going to split off some threads to talk about different thing. One for magic, one for religion, system, politics, etc.

Sure. Just on hiatus. No need to move it.
