[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3813725, member: 29014"] That's poor wording on the part of the writer of that description of Lesser Geas. Check regular geas. "Instead of taking penalties to ability scores (as with lesser geas), the subject takes 3d6 points of damage each day it does not attempt to follow the geas/quest." As for the rest, it strikes me that even if it allowed for very limited uses of each power, it would still be limiting. I think you're ignoring a huge swathe of powers that it prevents. Let's just look at a much simpler case to see what I mean. Let's say I had a power called Infinity Blast, a Variable Blast. It can do any kind of Blast (and I can decide as a free action). Any shape, any extra I need, and power feat, anything. Now I limit Infinity Blast so that it can only do 4th-level or lower spells in the D&D PH. That's a [I]massive[/I] limit! And we're looking at that across the board. I mean, I'd be happier to have it with the D&D spells limit because I think it fits the flavour of the character much better, but if you absolutely insist that it isn't a flaw (which I have to say would be the most ridiculous decision I've seen yet on LS. While I disagree with quite a few of the decisions of the new regime, I don't find any of the decisions ridiculous and I can understand why they were pursued), I can just not put that in there and keep my Variable Magic without those limits.
