...the ball was in? I try not to be, there are enough people here too involved with their own fixed ideas on Gloranthan reality... (present conversation neither included nor excluded, dependant on future events :).

Yes, yes, yes, exactly the same as every other Extended Contest. How very ho-hum :) And THAT was the origin of this thread - not what Spit Down Wind DOES, but how to make it, and other Feats, more original in their execution and effects. Simple Contests are more original, getting a specific effect from a specific feat, there and then, whereas Extended Contests, unless you use the same Feat continuously, are just a matter of draining AP down by whatever means until, finally!, you get an effect. Now don't get me wrong, I much favour Extended, always have, and I know every exchange can be described, but lets foster some creativity here. How would YOU pep up an Extended Contest to more than just a constant AP drain?
