Spoils of War
May. 31st, 2003 01:02 amTonight was Murdock's BESM game. It went a lot better tonight, especially since a question about the duration of his 'dynamic sorcery' made Umbra and the GM actually *look* at the description of the power, and Umbra mentioned a severe limitation on it -- namely, that it was restricted to a specific idiom, in his case 'necromancy' -- that he'd been essentially ignoring, at least in the last session where he really went wild blowing shit up and otherwise doing everything under the sun.
He still ended up basically carrying the party, because intangibility and invisibility are ludicrously powerful, but anyone could have bought those two powers for relatively cheap. Although making them usable both on self and on others would have been a bit harder. Also, he'll probably continue to be overpowered given a power like that, because Lazar is always very... creative in his interpretations of limitations.
Yeah, it annoys me, kinda, like Louis and his dice that always roll at least 19, but it's not a big deal, and Lazar generally tries not to steal the entire show, when he's paying attention.
( game summary )
After the game I lacked the mental discipline not to pray that the inspection had gone smoothly, so when I got home I discovered that, in fact, it had -- or at least, no complaint was left on my door -- but the bathtub was *still* clogged from that morning. Argh!
