As there seems to be a lull in events, I thought I'd make another
foray into Animism, and seek advice from the masses.
Has anyone else tried actually wandering in the Spirit World? When we
did a quick foray there, I was worried about quite a few things. We
sorted them out to our own satisfaction, but here are a couple to
consider, possibly for my education, possibly for yours...
- Are a Shaman's bound spirits affected by the same area modifiers
as the Shaman? For instance, the -20 Dangerous modifier for being in
Malia's bit of the Spirit World? We said no for Earth (Serdrosan) or
Fire (Firshalla) spirits, but yes for a Healing Spirit. This means
Shamans have an easier time in Dangerous areas (so long as they don't
rely on Integrated spirits).
- Movement in the Spirit World is by Spirit World Travel. What if
you have a higher movement ability, say a bound spirit? We augmented
SWT with the spirit.
- Are ALL a Shaman's abilities affected by the Dangerous modifier?
How about Tough, to allow a Final Action? How about Shamanic Escape?
We said the lot.
- How do elemental spirits (like Earth Spirits, Fire Spirits, etc.)
work in the Spirit World? Is there Earth for an Earth Spirit to
inhabit? Or does it just 'become' a patch of earth, and perform as
advertised anyway?
OK, those were the important ones.
