[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 8920388, member: 1282"] [I][B]CHANVATI [/B]looks on with horror as Hakhaman seemingly wields some corrupting influence over the Procession and divination. He doesn’t need the sputtering outrage of Ibhea beside him to recognize that some ill ritual is at work. Without pause, Chanvati retrieves the [/I]Ritual Scroll of Silent Image[I] from his satchel and intones the words of power. Appearing in the air, hovering above the Lucent Messenger and Tarquin’s Steward is the form of a bleached but radiant elderly woman, her long white hair raised in a halo of static and pulsating with light. She reaches out a forefinger in castigation at the priest. A miracle! An incarnation of Omthala herself to forestall any corruption of her rites![/I] [HR][/HR] Reading over our discussion of the handling of Rituals in Skill Challenges, I think this is an autosuccess, but if it’s necessary to have an Arcana check involved for some reason, using the Scroll as a Standard Action (if time is rushed) yields 5+10 = 15 Arcana result. If Chanvati has a minute to prepare the ritual properly, that result would be 10+10 = 20 Arcana result. These are opposed Arcana or Perception DCs by onlookers to recognize this as an illusion. Obviously, since the Hard DC is 21 and neither passive Arcana check can pass that, if Chanvati is the one making a skill check here, I will only use this resource if it’s an autosuccess. Should that not prove to be the case, I’ll just use Arcana without the Scroll to try to disrupt the magic of Hakhaman/Lucent Messenger’s ritual, without the fancy illusory magic and revise the fiction as necessary (Roll = 10 +10 =20 vs 21 Hard DC would be failure).
