Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 8187913" data-attributes="member: 1282">In the DW game in which I'm a player, the player of the Wizard envisions her character as being able to discern the subtle threads of the magic tapestry woven throughout reality, a la The Matrix. Enchanter seems a thematic advanced move, but she is a little underwhelmed by its narrow focus. So she came up with the following, which trades player fiat in return for broader applicability gated behind a roll:<s>Loresight</s><s> (Wizard Advanced Move 2-5, alternative to Enchanter)</s><s></s><s>When you Discern Realities about a spell or magical object/location, roll +INT. *On a 10+, choose 3 questions from the list below, and the GM will answer truthfully. *On a 7-9, choose 1.</s><s></s><s>Either way, take +1 forward when acting on the answers.</s><s></s><s>*What is the name of the spell, object, or location?</s><s></s><s>*What are the magical effects of the spell, object, or location?</s><s></s><s>*Who created the spell, object, or location and to what purpose?</s><s></s><s>*What is the location of the creator of the spell, object, or location?</s><s></s><s>*What is the alignment of the creator of the spell, object, or location?</s><s></s><s>*Who or what last used the spell, object, or location?</s>So, after playing with the above across a few levels, we decided, while thematically appropriate, the mechanics were alternately a little too revealing or lacking in a fiction-propelling volatility. So we revised them to the following:Loresight [Wizard advanced move, 2-5]When you discern realities about a spell or magical object/location, roll +INT. *On a 10+, the GM will tell you what the spell/object/location is, who created it, and why. *On a 7-9, the GM will tell you what, who, or why and also reveal an unwelcome truth. Either way, take +1 forward when acting on the answers.</blockquote>
