I'd like to preface this by saying that I used to play with a point system which me and my buddies developed for good old AD&D way back in the day. It's really cool to see what I felt was a much better system for casting surface as actual rules, and in Conan no less...weee!!! :lol:
However, in really poring over the Rituals section, I noticed something that seems like a glitch. Way I envisioned things on the first read through, one could gain PP through Ritual or Draining (for get imbibing narcotics for a moment). But there's something wrong.
Were I, being the wiley magi that I am, to request that my followers help me out in a little arcane dance number I've worked out in order to boost my PP the product seems paltry. If I have the minimum group of 10 and they all make the minimum effort and just take 10s, I gain 1PP.
Were I, being the clever and devious magi that I am, to request that my followers help me out in a little arcane dance number I've worked out in order to boost my PP and instead lured one poor sole into my lair and drained the points right out of him, I can get 1d4 - up to 4 times the ammount.
To gain 4PP through ritual alone I'd have to either amass 100 or more people for the dance number takin 10s or the minimum 10 have to be REALLY good dancers...either that or suck one dude for one round.
Should I potentially suffer from Corruption if I drain? Should the second collumn in the Ritual PP gain table (8.1) be 2, 3, 4, 5 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4? In the section on Sacrifices and Energy Drains, where is the referenced but elusive "Chapter 5: Tricks of Sword and Sorcery" located?
In the words of the great Jar Jar Binks: Any help here would be hot...
