Night Voice question! How big of an area is the default? How are you all doing?
The Night Voice: You can push yourself to strip an area of the Way for a few minutes. Doing so creates darkness, strange gravitational effects, and disables access to the Way for everyone, including you (powers, artifacts, and any tech that relies on the Way will stop working). When you push yourself to activate this ability, you still get one of the normal benefits of pushing yourself (+1d,
+1 effect, etc.) in addition to the special ability.
Thoughts?
As a general rule of thumb, think cinematically. A room is about the right size, but narratively, a single long hallway or a whole bar is also okay. A hanger or warehouse is probably too much. We generally don’t provide something like, ’10 meters’ for powers like this. Also, if you’re not sure whether some adjacent area is covered, you can make a fortune roll using the attune of the person who created the effect. Does the effect extend into the hallway? 4-5: Yes, but it’s less severe; lighting is dimmed, Way powers are unreliable.
John LeBoeuf-Little, thank you. We started it off as (mechanically) Area 2 in Magnitude, which seems the intent, so that’s cool. 😊
