Anybody care for a Panic game?
Rules:
Para is now cast with SFFF instead of FFF. Any instance of FFF that is not preceded by S must be targeted at nobody.
There is a new mindspell, "Panic." It works as follows:
Panic: FFS
Cancels with other mindspells
If the subject of this spell is a Warlock, on his next turn, he cannot perform any of the gestures that were performed this turn by the caster of Panic.
If the subject of this spell is a Monster, it doesn't attack this turn.
- For example, if I gesture FFS/xxD, then you cannot gesture S or D next turn.
- If you cast Panic and it gets reflected from a Magic Mirror, the gestures that get disabled are the ones that he performed (probably W/W). This is to keep this spell consistent with how Paralysis and Charm Person interact with mirrors.
- To implement this, whenever one player has FF, all players should target all of their mindspells at nobody on the next turn, and instead announce in the comments whom they wish to target their spells at. The next turn, players should submit gestures as if they were constrained by the appropriate mindspells (in the case of para or charm, use PM to describe which hand is paralyzed/charmed); this requires trust! If there is a monster and a potential PSDD involved, then the monster should be directed to attack nobody and have its target announced as well. This might cause life totals to become inaccurate and/or monsters to wind up being controlled by the wrong player; this requires trust as well.
- The above rule can be ignored when an FF situation has no threat of Panic (i.e. I have FF but get hit with Fear) or when you have SFF, there is no threat of any mindspell from your opponent, and you decide to cast para instead of panic.
- In the case of Invisibility or Blindness, be cautious. I don't want to put forth any specific guidelines, but if the defender has a mindspell ready on the first or second turn out of invis, you might want to consider having people target nobody just to be safe.
- ParaFC and Maladroit are also used in this variant. ParaFDF is not.
