The description of this spell is:   - Duplicate: Able to create another object again through your memory. (the duplicated item can't move and only 1 item you can duplicate)

Aside from the can't move and only 1 item you can duplicate restrictions, this can supposedly create anything that the caster has memories of. This is why backstory stuff would potentially have an actual impact on the game. Here is the best example I can think of:

Bori graduated from "University of Shooting Big Guns". It would stand to reason that if such an institution exists then it would be a place where he would have memories of extremely large firearms that are perhaps bigger than you would be inclined to let a player actually have. This combined with Bori's ability to use "any large caliber gun or artillery piece with great proficiency"...

So basically, this would require either the spell needing to be restricted to things witnessed in game, or for there to be a discussion about what a character would reasonably be allowed to do with this ability beyond that.

Yeah, i'll allow it. I like it when players get creative with their ability instead of bori attack bori done type narrative. The mass of the duplicated objects requires higher level of mastery though. So it's not like you can just create a gigantic pacific rim robot upon learning the skill anyway. At best you can make a plate or a fork at level 1. Memory does restrict the ability in the game but your character can just read a comic book about giant robot and learn how to materialize it when you have higher level of duplicate.

Ninja’d by Akhdas, I’ll put this anyway,

Memories are faulty. Try the telephone game but with a small story instead. Memories will change each time you think of them. Perhaos the player can describe the item, and the GM can roll a few die to see which parts of the memory get changed. EG

Bori wishes to duplicate Artilery Gun model A from University. The gun is as big as 2 people, shoots cannonballs with a diameter of 10 ft, and can pivot in 360 degree motion

DM rolls 3 die, one for each description piece
Let’s say the die are 3,5,1
So the cannon could end up being half the size, shoot 10 ft long cannonballs, but cannot change direction it is pointed

Due to the size of the cannonballs compared to the size of the artillery gun, it would have a longer reload time than the one Bori remembers

It might get very interesting indeed. Probably no giant robots due to the fact that there is still the no moving restriction, but still. If I were a GM I wouldn't leave this particular spell lying around where a player might find it unless the whole game was designed around it.

It's fine, its not going to be game breaking or plot breaking, if it did and you use it to change the current plot or game, i'll applaud you for it

GM said it is basically like the Green Lantern ring. You can make objects based on their size but you can't copy magical properties, just their shape.

btw king zultan, is your character gonna enter next battle? Your character HP will be at 5/5HP but you'll still be able to join.

I'll take that as a No if you dont respond in the next 3 hour or so
I'm assuming I'm late as hell to replying to this, but I don't think joining the battle would be a good idea at that low of HP sense one hit could murder me.

So am I able to do anything during the battle sense I'm not going to be in it or do I just wait until its over?

Yes, my general idea with turrets is that they should always be on auto attack. If the turrets are able to attack on a turn and don't without me explicitly saying they shouldn't, then something has gone wrong.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.
