Custom Spells

CREATING CUSTOM SPELLS

Custom spells are created using the Wargear Creation rules with the following adjustments:

• Spell Cost Reduction: After calculating the total cost of the spell using wargear rules, reduce the final cost by 5 points per affinity spent.

• Minimum Cost: A spell must cost at least 5 points after this reduction.

Spell Requirements

Each spell must include:

• Range (if applicable)

• Target (Self, Single Target, Area, etc.)

• Effect(s) (built using wargear rules)

• Keywords (if any)

• Phase (The phase or phases that this Spell can be used in.)

Using Wargear Rules for Spells

When designing a spell:

• Treat damage as Strength using standard costs.

• Treat multi-target or area effects using Blast/Radius/Sunder X.

• Treat buffs/debuffs as stat modifications using standard stat costs.

• Treat resource restoration (Wounds, Destiny, Faith, Affinity) using existing recovery rules.

• Treat special effects as Keywords (1 point each unless otherwise specified).

Spell Limitations

To reduce spell cost, apply one or more:

• Once per Game: -5 points

• Increased Charge: -5 points, increase the charge of the spell by 1 (stackable).

• Dangerous: -5 points, after the spell is cast, roll 1D6, on a 1 or lower take 1 wound that cannot be ignored.

  • [Dangerous X] this limitation may be stacked. reduce the die roll by -1 and suffer 1 extra wound for each number below 1.

    • Example: a [Danger 4] roll subtracts 4 from the dice roll. The caster roll 2 - 4 = -2. the caster suffers 3 wounds.

• Requires Line of Sight: Free (default unless stated otherwise)
