True enough, although I for one have no problem with letting wizards create
stuff all over the map - I should make some kind of clarification to the
Create Matter rules to say that a wizard can only create one continuous
"thing" per effect, so he could only arm one troop per turn. Whether or not
something counts as one or more "things" may be a little hard to define
sometimes though.
As for Power, I've been thinking of upping the cost for effects with
duration to +2SP per +1 Power. But that messes up my system of every
enduring effect costing +1SP per +1 point...

When he animated the glove, it was an Enduring effect so the 1 SP bought +1
point of Skill (raising it from 0 to 1d6-3). The skill boosts on the
following turns were Instant effects (having no duration), which can be
stacked as much as you want, even on top of an Enduring effect. As an
Instant effect, each SP buys +1d6 Skill.
I guess I really could have made that clearer, I ought to set aside a table
or something to really make the distinction between Instant and Enduring
effects.

No, same thing again, since it's an enduring effect, 5 SP buys 5" of
movement rather than 5d6".

Surely you meant 'Shaundice,' n. 1. A disease associated with frequent
drinking and figures with yellow skin. 2. A state or feeling of negativity
or bitterness arising especially from rolling ones forty times in a row.

| Ooo! Ooo! We thought of another one: What's the deal with animating larger versus smaller objects? IE if I wanted to animate a standard #2 pencil, and make it do my bidding, it seems to cost the same amount of SP as if I wanted to animate a 900-foot (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.gaming)
