SaveMettle

A mage places a vile aura around a held weapon (which could include the mage's own appendages). The mage makes a Casting Roll to determine the effectiveness of the spell, and chooses a weapon to endow. The mage attacks normally with the weapon, and if the target takes damage from the attack, it makes a Mettle save against the Casting Roll. If this save fails, the weapon inflicts a horrendous wound, which festers and stings, and may not be healed normally without powerful outside help. When the wound is healed, it leaves a nasty looking scar which is sure to fade slowly, if at all. Cheer up; chicks dig scars. As soon as damage is dealt, the spell is discharged and the weapon returns to normal (a miss does not discharge the spell; it lingers until harm is done).

Intensity Effects

The amount of tainted damage dealt by a failed save depends on the Intensity.

  1. 1 point of Tainted Damage
  2. 2 points
  3. 3 points
  4. 4 points
  5. 5 points
