As everybody knows I am frustrated with the rules for
channelling the one power. I have bashed my head over these rules for
awhile and it is hard to figure out exactly what I want out of it all. I
have been runing a game with the rules as is and one thing I have realized
is that the weaves in WoT are alot more versitile than regular D&D
spells. There are stilll alot of things I don't like but I am figuring
ways to use what is there to better fit my own vision so here is a little
something I have started doing. I have long hated the weave Harden Air as
it looks nothing like what I think happens when some Aes Sadie decides
she's gonna get all rowdy on someone so I adapted Arms of Air to fit what
I see. First I crossrefernced the encumberance table to see what the eqivalent strength of each level of AoA represents and then I got the bonus from the ability table. It looks like this. lvl................Wieght...............Bonus 0..................5.......................-- 1..................25.....................-- 2..................100...................-- 3..................200...................+1 4..................400...................+2 5..................800...................+4 6..................1500.................+6 7..................3000.................+8 ect. Now you just grapple as normal, you can find the rules on page 151. The only thing is that the channeler gets his Wis mod + weave level mod. It works and its fun. Peace J -------------------- "Me...

shouldn't weaves of 0-2nd have a penalty, or do you
merely say that its not strong enough to graple with, plus you may want to
asign size categories for the level of weave for use with grappleing.
secondly, how are you cross referencing? it doesn't look like its direct from a heavy load . |

I looked at it too and it looks to me like you took
the base value and went up by one per weave level. I can see the reason in
that, since it helps keep the balance in it, but since we're talking about
numbers that are fairly official, it would be best to keep the comparitive
bonuses consistant with the carrying capacities table. Based on my own
comparison, the table should look like
this: level---weight----equiv. str---bonus ...0..............5............1..............-5 ...1............25............3..............-4 ...2..........100...........10...............0 ...3..........200...........15.............+2 ...4..........400...........20.............+5 ...5..........800...........25.............+7 ...6........1500...........30............+10 ...7........3000...........35............+12 ...8........6000...........40............+15 ...9......12000...........45............+17 .10......25000............51...........+20 .11......50000............56...........+22 .12.....100000...........61...........+25 While this gives higher level channelers massively higher ability to grapple using air, it also reflects the massive power that they actually would have. -------------------- |

You caught me, I was trying to maintian a level of
balance. I personally like the direct comparison better. It is really cool
if you try it on someone who hase the escape artist skill. I also give a
penalty because the defender cannot see the air that is grappeling
him. Peace J -------------------- "Me... I'm doom on two legs, and you... you're a fish
