[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5855274, member: 57383"] Basically, I like the Spirit Jaunt because a lot of the spooks in OA2 (and in Japanese film and TV I've seen) are able to "pop out of thin air" or "vanish before you're very eyes!" but in many cases they don't do it very often, even if this would be tactically useful. For example, in the Seven Swords adventure some of the swords suddenly appear when their chamber is intruded upon and fight to the death, and they all vanish when slain. Also, I've seen quite a few Japanese TV and film where a monster "pops into being" to fights the hero, and when it starts to lose the [I][B]monster runs away[/B][/I]. If it could "pop" back to wherever it came from, surely it would use that means to escape? So, I think I'll give most of the OA2 spooks "Spirit Jaunt", but have the delay between uses be variable. So I'm adding it to the Tatami Goblin, but with a very long delay (24 hours? a week? You know, I fancy [I]the next full moon[/I] - that seems sufficiently spooky). Then it'll only use it in the most desperate circumstances. Updating [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5852007-post1095.html"][B]Working Draft[/B][/URL]. [/QUOTE]
