Hinder

Keywords: Resisted (HT).

Full Cost: 26 points for level 1 + 2 points/additional level.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: 10 seconds.

The caster lowers the subject’s Basic Speed by -1 per level of this spell. The GM should impose a cap on the level of this spell (suggested cap is 3 levels).

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Disadvantage, Basic Speed -1, +20%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Reduced Duration, 1/10, -20%; Sorcery,  15%) [26]. Note: Additional levels add extra levels of Basic Speed to the Disadvantage enhancement [+2].

Perfume

Keywords: Buff.

Full Cost: 18 points.

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Range: 100 yards.

Duration: 30 minutes.

The subject smells strongly of any odor that the caster desires. The subject can detect the odor, but does not find it especially offensive (although his companions certainly might), regardless of its nature. The smell may be pleasant to elicit a +1 to Reaction from those who like the smell, or repulsive, granting the subject a -2 to Reaction from everyone who can smell him.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Alternative Enhancements, +12%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery,  15%) [18]. Note: Alternative Enhancements are Advantage, Perfume, +10%, where “Perfume” is Perfume (Magical, -10%) [1] and Disadvantage, Bad Smell, +10%.

  

Rooted Feet

Keywords: Resisted (ST).

Full Cost: 31 points.

Roundabout

Keywords: Resisted (HT).

Full Cost: 23 points.

Casting Roll: Will.

Range: Unlimited.

Duration: Instantaneous.

Change the facing of a subject to any direction desired. This is not a teleport-in-place, but a physical spin. On the subject’s next turn, a roll vs. Body Sense or DX-6 is needed to take any action. If the subject moved 2 or more yards the previous turn, he must make an IQ roll to avoid continuing in the new direction.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Malediction 2, +150%; No Signature, +20%; Reduced Duration, 1/180, -40%; Sorcery, -15%; Tipsy, Variant, +10%) [23].

You can neutralize ongoing seizures caused by spells, powers, Afflictions, Affliction-like effects of the Side Effect and Symptoms enhancements. This requires a successful IQ roll and costs 1 FP.
