Would it be okay to peg the Save DC to the number of ranks in the sppell?

That sounds fair. It prevents abuse. She has two ranks, so I guess she gets two helpers and ten guards?

She has two ranks in Personal Ward. How do you want to handle ability damage and dice rolled? Is that perhaps capped rank, too? I just wanted her rolling two dice, anyway, because taking 18 points of ability damage would be prohibitive, even if 18d6 temp HP would be rad.

Do you think 1 point of temporary ability damage per 4d6 rolled.  For example if you rolled 16d6 you'd take 4 temporary damage.  Also would you prefer an opposed check instead of a save for banish?

That's low enough I could do it.

That's probably fine. Do you mean like a caster level check?

yeah.  opposed checks would be more difficult though.

I figured as much. I wasn't looking for freebies; whatever works better for the game.

At this point, Elizabeth is taking what she feels is the safest route. It might not be the best. She's working on limited information.

How does this look for a workable DC:

The Save DC for a spell is 11 + your Casting Ability Modifier + 1 per every 2 ranks in the spell above 4.  For example if your casting ability is a 12 Cha (+1 modifier) and you have 4 ranks or less in a spell the Save DC is 12.  If you have 8 ranks the DC 14.

That seems fine. She only has two ranks, so she'll get no boost. What stat is the casting stat?

So, is there no boost from having other casters help, then? If not, She'll have them all stand ready with weapons.

Your casting ability is the middle value of your three mental ability scores (usually).  As an example if you have a 10 Int, 12 Wis, and 14 Cha, Wisdom is used for you spells Save DC's and other effects.  If you have a 10 Int, 10 Wis, and 12 Cha, you can use Intelligence or Wisdom.  If you have a 10 Int, 12 Wis, and 12 Cha, you can use Wisdom or Charisma.

Thanks. She's 18, 12, 12, so she'd use 12. I guess this set the DC at 12 (11 + 1 for Wis + 0 for ranks).

But, no boost from other helpers on this one, now? If not, Elizabeth will have them all ready with weapons.

Yeah, I'll do six and six, then. Are we ready to move back to the game, or are you fixing anything else?

I'm mostly leveled, but I need to see the worked up versions of the spells. I'll probably be putting 6-8 points in spells, possibly picking up two different Detect spells. I did pick Detect Supernatural Creatures, for sure.

Does something happen to our Sanity/Humanity when we level? I dropped my max Sanity because I took another rank in Knowledge (TMWNMTK), but I can't remember if any of the current values get restored. I don't think I've ever used any of my action points. Do we gain any of those? This is my first time leveling in this campaign because we started at level 4.

Action points refill at every Level

Levelling upp oonly affects San/Hum if your stats change

http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=5275.msg303018#msg303018  so does mental ward seem understandable thus far?
