** The '''Acquiring Stone''' could be just as defining for Kyuad. A real threat now to the legates of the world. A master of the arcane in the making. I think it would be hard to overpower this item, since it's only useful against spells and spell-like abilities. | ** The '''Acquiring Stone''' could be just as defining for Kyuad.

− | + | '''Possible Solutions by Bill:''' | |
− | * | + | * It could give Kyuad a notification that a spell is about to be cast, and by whom, in time for him to ready a counterspell action. |
− | + | ** ''Problems'': This requires Kevin to "tip his hand" as to his strategies during combat. These strategies could change. It's asking a lot for Kevin to have this knowledge before the enemy's turn. It involves sending lots more secret information across the room. | |
− | + | * It could make it so Kyuad is constantly ready to counterspell, so that once per round, if a spell is cast and Kyuad has the ability to notice it and recognize the spell, then he can counterspell it without having had to spend a Standard action the previous round. Even if it doesn't work (he doesn't know the spell and the dispel check fails) then he still gets to '''do''' something during the fight. | |
− | + | ** ''Problems'': The biggest problem with this is that it has the potential to allow Kyuad to counterspell every round. However, given that the success rate isn't really high, and we have lots of other options for stopping the casters, it essentially relegates the use of this ability to times when Kyuad is fighting a legate solo. | |
− | * | + | *** (non-legate casters usually have low Fort saves, so Kyuad has a pretty good chance of killing them with magic even if they cast a spell) |
