Reply-To: "Paul Schmidt" , dq@dq.sf.org.nz A brief suggestion for Namers. If there is one thing DQ lacks its protection from scrying of some type. Some form of scry denial would make the game much more exciting for both players and GM's so... I suggest the following spell and following ritual for Namers be added to the next rulebook. Protection from Scrying - Namer Special Range: 60 foot radius+ 10ft/Rank Duration: 10 minutes + 10/Rank Exp. Mult: 300 Base Chance: 20% Storage: Ward, Investments, Magical Trap Target: Entity or Object This spell protects a volume from scrying by Wizard Eyes, Crystals of Vision, Telepathy, ESP and similar divinatory magics of a Rank equal to or lower than the rank of the Caster of Protection from Scrying (but not normal vision, infravision, Witchsight and similar spells). Protection from Scrying is similar to a shell over the protected volume, so once the volume is penetrated by mundane means, e.g. by flying or by foot, spells cast inside the protected volume work normally. The adept can always choose to protect a smaller volume if he so chooses. Double and triple effects increase either duration or the volume protected - Adept's choice. At Rank 20 this spell alarms the Adept that an attempt to divine the volume by magical means has taken place. Hide Volume - Namer Ritual Range: 60 foot radius+ 10ft/Rank Duration: 1 month + 1/Rank Exp. Mult: 300 Base Chance: 20% Storage: Ward, Investments, Magical Trap Target: Volume This spell protects a fixed volume from scrying by Wizard Eyes, Crystals of Vision, Telepathy, ESP and similar divinatory magics of a Rank equal to or lower than the rank of the Caster of Hide Volume (but not normal vision, infravision, Witchsight and similar spells). Hide Volume is similar to a shell over the protected volume, so once the protected area is penetrated by mundane means, e.g. by flying or by foot, spells cast inside this volume work normally, however they do so at 1/2 their normal Rank, rounded up. The adept can always choose to protect a smaller volume if he so chooses. Double and triple effects increase either duration or the volume protected - Adept's choice. At Rank 20 this ritual alarms the Adept that an attempt to divine the volume by magical means has taken place. Cheers Paul -- see unsubscribe instructions in message headers --
