Title: Grifting spell "Give"
Post by: srgsng25 on <10-19-12/1701:53>
working on a spell for next weeks game wanted to see if this looks OK should i make 2 versions of this spell a instant / sustained version

Give
Type: M • Range: Touch • Duration:  I • DV: (F ÷ 2) + 1
The spell Caster will have an innate ability to get whatever he/she is asking for with this spell. This spell was first observed in the wild in young street children who were begging for food and money.  As the kids got old and better skilled they have turned this into a grifter spell.
This is a apposed will power test target number 4 with only 1 success needed to resist the spell effects however for success the caster get above is the more drastic effects the spell has..

No, the spell you're thinking of is Influence, Reaver.

Influence (Mental)
Type: M • Range: LOS • Duration: P • DV: (F ÷ 2) + 1
This spell implants a single suggestion in the victim’s mind, like a powerful
post-hypnotic command. The subject will carry out this suggestion
as if it were her own idea and it will then fade. If confronted with
the wrongness of the suggestion, the subject can make a Willpower
Test to overcome it as described under Mental Manipulations, p. 210.
The caster can also withdraw the suggestion at any time.

No, I was thinking of control thoughts.

But you are waaay right, 'influence' is the better choice for this action... I totally forgot about it. :(

i though that was the case i had a player trying to insist she was write and it boiled down to a womans law and GM's law :)) the person still ended up naked running though the old U District asking for a sex change in the end to a lone star officer
