Kour! I'm hurt! I would never do something like that
I play by the rules, sometimes I can be a little literal, but still...
So let's say in IC I say what I say, in OOC, I tell you, his actions in order:
This IP: Complex - Materialize
Free-held
Next IP: Cast I. Refelxes on me and sustain until said otherwise
Then his IP-s for this combat turn is done.
Next turn: back to astral and fly back to hotel room ward.
leplaying Spirits and Services
Gamemasters and players are encouraged to treat spirits like actual
NPCs, rather than just tools with no personality of their own. The
exact relationship between a spirit and magician will depend largely
upon the character’s tradition. Hermetic mages typically view their
elementals as servants to be commanded and ordered about, whereas
shamans typically treat spirits as equals—if not gods or venerated
elders—and so implore them for assistance or strike bargains for their
aid (returning the favor with such tasks as ecological cleanup, gardening,
animal tending, worship, and so on). A spirit’s personality should
be appropriate to the summoner’s tradition, and may range from that
of semi-intelligent beast or a distinctly nonhuman outlook to a very
human personality (perhaps based on someone the summoner knows,
or a reflection of the summoner herself ).
The thing is i would like to treat the spirit as a NPC, meaning he is following your command, but not in a way you would like - not your OOC IP descriptions.
Comand Examples
Help ME protect the armours - Spirit would be more support then actual combatant and would assist Eddy by increasing reflexes casting armour and so on.
Protect the armours - He would act with no big regards to any of the PC's even Eddy, and would probably start by checking the situation assensing the danger then eliminating it.
P.s. Not accusing you, more myself in that regard, but you know it better. Right "PT"?
