[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 3194208, member: 141"] I really have two sets of factors; one that I'm dubious about, within the spoiler block of post 1 of [URL="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?threads/181022/"]this thread[/URL], and the other being the ones given within the main body of the post: [INDENT] [b]Factor: Mass Effect:[/b] The spell affects up to 20 targets, none of which can be more than 30-ft. apart.
