Yes, mages should be able to spend 2 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1, but doing this provokes a Luck roll: on a roll of 2 or less, the spell loses one Awk.

No, this is a very bad idea.

No, this is a somewhat bad idea, I have my own ideas. (Post in thread).

[FallacyofUrist]

I might have to sig that exchange after I make the turn.

Sample Turn Seventeen: Assorted Conflicts, And Hulk Smash Golemdrake(he's alive!)

INIT
Golemdrake(2-1=1)
Mage(6-1=5)
DJ Ecco(3+1=4)
Cain(2+1-2=1)
Oric(5)
SWAT(1-1=0)

Mage surrenders to the SWAT team. "Um... okay. Green guy? What green guy?" Then he notices the golem. "Oh."

Five assault rifles are leveled at the golem.

Meanwhile, Oric is recognizing what Cain is doing. He proceeds to counter by kicking Cain. (4vs. 3+1-2-2=0) (1+3=4vs. 2+1-2=1) (crit: 4) (cain will: 6+2-2) Cain takes even more hits, but focuses his will enough to fire his spell. Once it finishes preparation.

Ecco notices the threat posed by the Golemdrake, and proceeds to stomp him. (3+1(quicka counts here)=4vs.3-1(quicka)-3(prone under mech legs)-(considering your position(under mech legs)... nah, it's not necessary.)=-1) (6+4!=10vs.1+2=3) (overkill: 2) (limb removal: (1-2(null), 3-4(one limb), 5-6(two limbs), any more(a lot of limbs): 2) Welp. That could have been much worse for the golem. (golem luck: 3) Cracks spiral along the golem's body. (-2 to tougha, return to flesh a large pain.)

Cain unleashes his Crosshatch upon Oric.
Zap(6+4-2=8)
Awk(3+2-2=3)
A pair of arcane waves cut through the air, crossing upon Oric. They look unstable.

(4-2vs.5) Oric leans out of the way, letting the waves cross away from him. (Oric luck: 4) Thankfully the crosshatch doesn't, say, explode or anything.

Meanwhile, (6) Drake returns to his own control for the first time in a while. (3-1=2) He lumbers over to the booze crate, and grabs a bottle. Then he falls to the ground, prone yet again(-2 to dodge, as you know.) Booze is drunk, magic is metabolized. (luck: 6) The magic alcohol energy channels through the emerald better than flesh! (+2 zappidy, next two turns)

"Why is it drinking alcohol?" Mage's weapons are confiscated.

Random Event(1) There appears to be a meteor made of black fire in the sky. It will arrive two turns from now.

((Wot. You might want to clean your charsheet up so I can understand it better, but accepted.))

[NAV]

"It's drinking alcohol to restore his magic! I'll work on canceling his spells, you guys shoot him. The sword is his weakpoint."

Cancel whatever spells Drake tries to cast. Stay with the Swat guys, defend self with beard flail if necessary.

[Beirus]

Enhance Emerald Abilities, then Transform into Emerald Dragon.

Sample Turn Eighteen: Whoop De Do. I need one more player. I've got a match arrangement idea for 12 players.

INIT
Golemdrake(3-1=2)
Mage(5-1=4)
DJ Ecco(2+1=3)
Cain(3+1=4)
Oric(3)
SWAT(4-1=3)

Mage twirls his beard flail. "Alcohol restores magic? Um... okay." Mage proceeds to fire off a triggered Cancelation Spell.

Zap(1+2=3)
Awk(5+1=6)

The spell was very well targeted, but not very potent. Golemdrake has been targeted.

Meanwhile, Cain chugged a bottle of alcohol, restoring his mana. It was pretty easy, considering he was lying on the crate.

Ecco and Oric have no intention of letting Cain use that mana, however. Ecco lets loose with the auto cannons(2), no, actually(SWAT) he's shooting at the SWAT team, and Mage by extension, since he's in the middle of them. Oric's just sending more kicks into Cain.

The large mech turns towards the SWAT team. "Aww.... how is that fair?" Dakka dakka dakka.
(5+1=6 and 6+1=7 vs. SWAT(2-1(group)) and Mage(1-1=0)) Oh dear. (3+1=4 and 6+1=7 vs. SWAT(4-1=3) and Mage(5)) Bullets tear into the SWAT team, rendering four of them unconscious, electrically so. (crit against Mage: 1) These things just bounced off his skin. Wot.

Oric kicks Cain. (6vs. 1(really?)+1-2=0) (1+3+1=5vs. 3+1=4) Cain groans in pain. (3+2=5) The pain sharpens his clarity. This guy's not going down easy.

The remaining two SWAT members decide the mech is the larger threat. Of course, fighting such a thing... it appears one of the remaining two SWAT men have fainted.

(2) The golem lumbers over to(the SWAT men). The Emerald Reaper is swung at the remaining conscious man. (3vs.5) Miss.

The meteor falls. One turn left.

[FallacyofUrist]

Bump. I'm not bumping Whimsy yet. I haven't got the basic concept for the Blackguard yet. The Goremaster was easier to think up.

[FallacyofUrist]

... welp. I'm beginning to think that just starting the game would be a good idea. But I still need 1 more character.

[conein]

What if yew were the last character?

[FallacyofUrist]

That is a bad idea in so many ways. Do you really think I could remain unbiased in my decisions? Not to mention I would use the game rules to my advantage... this would be my character.

conein, if you doubt I'd end up being awesome with my character, I'd be willing to fight you in a duel.
