[QUOTE="Nzld, post: 2702822, member: 37407"] I can't agree with you here. You are selecting a Base 15, which is designed to "[B]utterly[/B] change a person's mind", then tacking on an additional magnitude to [B]not[/B] utterly change it. If you feel a modifier is required (I don't), then it should be tacked on to a lower base. The bases for Mentem show that it is easier to affect only specific aspects of the mind than it is to affect the entire mind. I would say that completely rewriting a person's faculty for language is more in line with Base 10 "completely rewrite a person's memories". Making oneself think like an animal seems to me to be a pretty inherent capability of MuMe(An). The Animal requisite is enough to facilitate this. I can't see where there is any added complexity involved. Perhaps a Finesse roll could be used to determine how well one interprets what is being "said", but that's about it. There are very few spells that have "ad hoc" modifiers to them, and that is with good reason. And I don't see where Rego would be appropriate. [/QUOTE]
