[PnP] Elf Hiding

[Burton Choinski]

We broke it into a spell option.  Full entry here:

Invisibility <>
[Combat, x2] -- Law, Shamanic, Sidh – Extendable

The Caster becomes perfectly transparent and undetectable by visual means. This will prevent casual detection but has no effect on other senses, so normal Stealth rolls will be needed to move quietly.

Any person that happens to contact into the Caster will be able to see him over the remainder of the Duration whether contact is maintained or not.

The spell is automatically dispelled if the Caster makes any form of attack or casts any spell that does not have a target of “Self” (i.e “pops the bubble”).

Option: Group Invisibility [Combat, x3]

As above except the Caster may include up to EL+1 persons in contact with him, either directly or chained through an included person. If included members lose chained contact with the Caster, the spell ends for them. Movement as a group is limited to the SLOWEST speed of all persons involved, minus 5’.

Range:                Self

Duration:            (EL+1)x10 Rounds


The “x2” was the notation used in the system that represented BMC.  The mana costs were figured differently, so for P&P assume the group option had +2 BMC over the base spell.

It was still only one spell, but the caster could cast the optional version with the increased BMC.
