[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6405649, member: 1"] What's the question? Whether they take 2 actions? I haven't decided yet, not having been able to playtest this yet. I'll try both and see what works! The concept in my mind is increasing mastery of something. So you progress along the path, you're able to do bigger things. Someone with [I]MAG 14 fire[/I] has a much greater mastery of fire than someone with [I]MAG 5 fire[/I]. You could certainly have multiple fire-related spellpaths. Not at all. You can have gaps in it. They can be short or long. They might start at 0 or at 12 or anything else. The examples are all just kind simple 0-10 examples. Take a look at the healing spellpath example. That's pretty much just adding extra dice each time, though I threw in a few extra things to spice it up a bit. I wold be inclined to say yes, but third parties can design whatever they want, of course. Like with most things, you'd end up with some well designed stuff and some badly designed stuff. I do like the idea of thousands of spellpaths existing, and if you have access to, say, a handful secrets, that give you a hundred or so that you can choose to learn (although you have to select them carefully - your LOGIC attribute limits how many you can learn). And then you could have an actual quest to discover the long-lost [I]secret of dragons[/I], or something. The difficulty I predict is that while a wider or narrower spellpath isn't more powerful (it's just more varied), a wider or narrower secret is more powerful. The[I] secret of nature[/I] is more powerful than the [I]secret of plants[/I] or[I] animals[/I] if all spellpaths which include the plants or animals secrets also include the nature secret. I have to think more about that; why would anybody ever discover the [I]secret of plants[/I] if they can discover the [I]secret of nature[/I] instead. That all said, who says all secrets are equal? Is the [I]secret of bees[/I] equal to the [I]secret of life[/I] equal to the [I]secret of Cthulhu[/I]? Maybe some secrets are rarer, more valuable, harder to obtain, not offered by traditions.
