One of my players really wants to use the darkness and light parts of the skill Evoke to create illusions. I thought this might be a bit overpowered so I made this skill instead. Any thoughts?
Illusion
Psychic
You cast an intangible audio-visual illusion in a space you can see. Roll+an appropriate stat, then describe what can be seen and heard from this illusion.
• On 10+, chose one.
• On 7-9, chose two.
– The illusion draws all your concentration. You cannot use any other magical skills or traits while you maintain it.
– The illusion is imperfect, and with close enough inspection obviously fake.
– The illusion is taxing to the mind. Take a mental or emotional debility.
– The illusion can only produce either image or sound, but not both.
The Spectre in Urban Shadows could be and interesting inspiration here. The choices could be: it can be seen, it can be heard, it doesn’t take all your concentration; choose two on 10+, one on 7-9.
I like both propossals.
