Cantrips

By Theredcrosss, in WFRP House Rules

Now firstly I realize that the book leaves the effects of the Cantrip spell open to interpretation. I realize this is quite useful for wizard characters/players and to GMs alike. But a little structure now and then gives us a sandbox to work in and bend those rules in the end, so heres some ideas I've been brewing

Shadow Cantrips

Ulgu is all about illusion and subterfuge and I think their Cantrips should represent this, and can do so in a couple fun ways. For one thing I think they should be able to sustain illusions to any of the senses. It makes sense in my mind to limit them to one sense per character rank, where a rank 5 Grey Wizard can easily remake his entire personage with hardly a flick of his wrist. These are some examples of minor illusions:

1) Making minor facial changes

  • Eye Color
  • Hair Color
  • Nose Shape
  • Mouth Width
  • etc..

2) Changing the color of objects

  • Single block color
  • Maximum 10'x10' area

3) Voice Changes

  • Pitch
  • Volume
  • Mimicking

4) Body Proportions

  • Height
  • Girth

5) Smell

  • If you smelt it, you dealth it.

6) Taste

  • the Snozzberies taste like Snozzberries!

7) Touch

  • Texture, roughness v sleekness
  • More Mimicking

These are some basic ideas, and where influenced by having a Grey Wizard player. I haven't thought about Aqshy and Hysh yet but I'm all ears!
