Magic Bolt & Proficiency Playtest
Magic “Bolt” Playtest – Version 1.0
Effective Dates:
January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. This is an optional playtest for Local NERO Chapters and is NOT mandatory.
Forward:
This playtest is an attempt to incentivize lower level players to play Scholars without limiting their gameplay by running out of spells.
Objective:
Other classes purchase “weapon” skill and are not limited by the number or weapon swings or strikes their character can make. A player who wishes to play a pure scholar, must still take weapon skills so their character can engage, if they run out of spells. The playtest allows players to play ranged characters without weapon skills.
Requirements:
Player/Character MUST be scholar to purchase skill & have the Read Magic Skill
Purchase the Magic Bolt Skill at 3 build
Summary:
Scholars can purchase the skill “Magic Bolt” ; this skill will allow a scholar to throw a packet with a damage delivery of “ 2 Magic”. This delivery method follows the standard weapon attacks rules (blocked by armor, magic armor, shields, etc) [Noted on the Character Sheet: Craftsman Other (Magic Bolt)]
Playtest Challenges:
Confusion may arise with Scholars delivering packet attacks, without spells. However keeping the call in line with standard weapon calls should help.
