heartbeats or is maybe just Disrupted by the teacher!
This has reminded me of something which has nagged me for a while. If a = player successfully Disrupts, Demoralizes, or Befuddles an opponent in = combat s/he is entitled to a power check. If they successfully make = their power roll they get an increase in POW. I can't help thinking = that there must be a metaphysical law in Glorantha concerning the = conservation of energy and magic power. In this is the case a = successful POW roll would mean that POW must be drained from somewhere. = Is it drained from the targeted entity? If so is this not pretty = powerful for one and two point spirit magic spells. I'll explain what I = mean.
This effect could be useful. If a player were to make an enemy of a = incredibly huge, but POWerfully weak, creature s/he could get a large = group of friends to disrupt him. Presuming that they could avoid melee = and that the disruptions didn't kill him, they could kill him by = draining him of Power by making successful POW roles. Granted, this = could take a while.
On the other hand, is this what happens to prisoners, and fearsom = monsters who are captured and tied in the town square? Is it = demoralized and befuddled until it is drained of power?=20
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this? I could see my = favourite Sartarite sneaking up to Lunar encampments and demoralizing = Lunars while they sleep. "Thanks for the - possible - donation = suckers!" It could be a nice little moral weapon and it could make you = stronger at the expense of your foe. The approach and departure could = be difficult though. =20
